Spain have extended head coach Luis de la Fuente’s contract until 2032 after the 65-year-old guided La Roja to a fourth European Championship title and their second World Cup title.
De la Fuente’s previous contract was due to expire in 2028, but the new agreement will keep him in charge through Spain’s World Cup defence on home soil in 2030.
Spain will co-host the 24th edition of the men’s World Cup with Portugal and Morocco, with matches also scheduled for Uruguay, Argentina and Paraguay as part of celebrations marking the tournament’s centenary.
De la Fuente replaced Luis Enrique in December 2022 following Spain’s last-16 exit at the Qatar World Cup.
Since taking charge, he has lost just twice in 41 competitive matches and led Spain to three major trophies, including the 2022-23 UEFA Nations League and Euro 2024. Spain finished runners-up to Portugal in the 2024-25 Nations League.
Spain beat Argentina 1-0 after extra time to win the World Cup in July, having defeated England 2-1 in the European Championship final two years earlier.
RFEF president Rafael Louzan confirmed the contract extension while speaking at the World Football Summit in Madrid on Wednesday.
‘His results speak for themselves, as does his work,’ Louzan said.
‘The public loves and admires him. I offered him an extension because he wasn’t among the top 10 in terms of financial conditions. Now he will be.
