De la Fuente extends Spain contract to 2032
World Cup-winning head coach Luis de la Fuente has agreed to a contract extension with Spain until 2032.
Luis de la Fuente, Spain's World Cup-winning head coach, has extended his contract with the national team until 2032. De la Fuente, 65, previously had a deal set to end in 2028. He led Spain to their fourth European Championship title in 2024 and secured global honours this summer with a World Cup victory. De la Fuente took over as head coach in December 2022, following Spain's Round of 16 exit at the 2022 World Cup.
Since then, Spain has lost only twice in 41 competitive matches, winning three trophies, including the UEFA Nations League in 2022-23 and the World Cup in 2023. RFEF president Rafael Louzan praised De la Fuente's results and work, noting the public's admiration for him. De la Fuente, who began his coaching career in Spain's lower leagues, spent nine years in the youth set-up before replacing Luis Enrique.
He has won a European Under-19 Championship, a European Under-21 Championship, and a silver medal at the 2021 Olympics. Spain's next match is against England at Wembley on 26 September for the 2026-27 Nations League opener.
