  "summary": "Spain's coach, Luis de la Fuente, is set to sign a new contract extension that will keep him in the role until 2032. According to the Spanish football federation (RFEF), this new deal will see him through the next two European Championships, in 2028 and 2032, as well as the 2030 World Cup.\n\nDe la Fuente, 65, took charge of Spain in 2022, replacing Luis Enrique, and has since led the national team to World Cup success, Euro 2024 glory, and the 2023 UEFA Nations League title. Before stepping up to the senior role, he spent a decade working with Spain's youth teams.\n\nThe RFEF's chair of the board of directors, Rafael Louzan, praised De la Fuente, saying he is the most successful head coach in the history of the national team and deserves a long-term future at the RFEF. Spain's upcoming schedule includes a match against England on September 26, followed by games against Croatia, the Czech Republic, and another against Croatia.",
