Luis de la Fuente, the World Cup-winning coach, has officially signed a six-year contract extension with the Spanish national team, ensuring his leadership until the end of Euro 2032. This agreement was ratified by the Spanish FA (Rfef) during an Executive Committee meeting held in Madrid on Monday, confirming a renewal that had been preliminarily agreed upon during the World Cup.

In a press conference, De la Fuente emphasized the importance of unity within the team, stating, "During Euro 2024, we began to emphasise a word that gave us a great deal of security, confidence and strength: family. We want the Spanish national team to be a family and that is honestly how we feel. We are not content with what we have achieved so far. The best is yet to come."

This contract marks the longest tenure ever for a Spain head coach, allowing De la Fuente to lead the team through the next three major tournaments, including a home World Cup in 2030.

The deal reportedly includes a substantial pay rise, following De la Fuente's success in delivering back-to-back major titles for La Roja. Prior to his World Cup victory in July, he led Spain to triumph at Euro 2024, defeating England in the final.

Throughout his tenure, De la Fuente has managed 50 matches for Spain, achieving an impressive record of 38 wins, 10 draws, and 2 losses—the latter two coming against Scotland and Colombia.

Notably, Spain currently enjoys its longest unbeaten run in international football history, remaining undefeated in 38 matches.
