Luis de la Fuente has secured his position as Spain's head coach until Euro 2028, following a contract extension. Initially, his contract was due to expire after the 2026 World Cup. Now, he will guide Spain in defending their European Championship title. De la Fuente took over in December 2022 after Luis Enrique stepped down post-Spain's World Cup exit against Morocco.

De la Fuente led Spain to victory in the Nations League during the 2022-23 season, marking their first triumph in this competition. He also steered the team to success at Euro 2024, where they won all seven matches in Germany, culminating in a 2-1 win over England in the final. His leadership has been pivotal in these achievements.

Under his management, Spain has played 23 matches, losing only once with an impressive record of 20 wins and two draws. This results in an outstanding win rate of 86.96% across all competitions. The team has scored 55 goals while conceding just 14 since he took charge.

Spain is set to face the Netherlands on March 20 in the Nations League quarter-final after topping their qualification group last year. This match will be another test for De la Fuente's squad as they continue their journey under his guidance.

De la Fuente's contract extension reflects confidence in his ability to lead Spain through upcoming tournaments successfully. His track record so far suggests that he is well-equipped to maintain and build upon Spain's recent successes on the international stage.
