Spain Extend De la Fuente's Contract Through Euro 2032

RFEF says the deal secures long‑term managerial continuity to guide Spain through Euro 2028, the co‑hosted 2030 World Cup and Euro 2032.

Overview

  • The Royal Spanish Football Federation unanimously ratified a six‑year extension on Monday that keeps Luis de la Fuente as head coach until the end of the 2032 European Championship.
  • De la Fuente and RFEF president Rafael Louzán will hold a formal press conference to present the agreement and outline the federation's plans for the next tournament cycles.
  • Federation sources told reporters the renewal, which updates an earlier shorter deal, includes a substantial pay rise though exact financial terms have not been disclosed.
  • The extension rewards de la Fuente's recent run of success — Euro 2024, the 2026 World Cup and a 38‑match unbeaten sequence — and cements his record as Spain's most decorated coach.
  • RFEF frames the move as a stability measure to align coaching, squad selection and logistics for Euro 2028, Spain's role in hosting the 2030 World Cup and preparations for Euro 2032.
