The RFEF renews Luis de la Fuente until 2026 to ensure stability in the Spanish national team

The Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) has made the decision to renew the contract of the head coach of the men's national football team, Luis de la Fuente, until the year 2026. This news was announced by the Governing Commission of the organization in an official statement, ensuring that the renewal of De la Fuente is essential to provide stability to the Spanish national team for future international commitments. The coach from La Rioja, whose contract was expiring this year, was in a situation of uncertainty due to the Eurocup and the ongoing electoral process in the RFEF. However, the Governing Commission decided to exercise a renewal clause included in De la Fuente's contract, approved by a majority in the last meeting, to ensure his continuity at the helm of the national team. This renewal guarantees that Luis de la Fuente will continue to lead the Spanish national team until the next World Cup in Canada, Mexico, and the United States in 2026. The RFEF considered it essential to provide stability to the national team, especially in preparation for the Eurocup to be held next June in Germany. De la Fuente himself had expressed his desire to reach an agreement to continue in the position, despite the complicated circumstances surrounding his contractual situation. The renewal of the head coach eliminates the possibility of him having to leave his position in the middle of an important competition, thus ensuring continuity and the necessary focus to face future challenges. With this decision, the RFEF seeks to maintain stability and cohesion in the Spanish national football team, betting on the continuity of a coach who has demonstrated his worth and commitment to the national team. Fans can expect De la Fuente to continue leading the Spanish team on its path to future successes in the international arena.
