World Cup-winning head coach Luis de la Fuente has officially extended his contract with Spain until 2032. This decision follows a successful tenure that saw him lead the national team to their fourth European Championship title in 2024 and their second men's World Cup crown in July 2023.

Originally set to expire in 2028, de la Fuente's new contract ensures he remains at the helm as Spain prepares for their World Cup defense on home soil in 2030, co-hosting the tournament with Portugal and Morocco. Matches will also be held in Uruguay, Argentina, and Paraguay as part of the centennial celebrations of the competition.

Since taking over from Luis Enrique in December 2022, de la Fuente has achieved remarkable results:

• 41 competitive matches with only two losses
• Three trophies won, including the 2022-23 UEFA Nations League
• Finished as runners-up to Portugal in 2024-25

His leadership culminated in a thrilling 1-0 victory over Argentina in the World Cup final, adding to the European triumph against England in 2022.

RFEF president Rafael Louzan praised de la Fuente's accomplishments, stating, "His results speak for themselves, as does his work. The public loves and admires him." Louzan emphasized the importance of retaining de la Fuente, who has dedicated 14 years to the national setup, including a successful youth coaching career.

Spain’s next match is scheduled for 26 September, where they will face England at Wembley in their 2026-27 Nations League opener.
