Spain’s Euro 2024 Winning Coach Extends Contract

Spain’s Euro 2024 winning coach Luis de la Fuente extended his contract on Monday to 2028, the Spanish football federation said in a statement.

“The Spanish Football Federation has agreed to renew its confidence in Luis de la Fuente, that he will continue as national coach until after the European Championships in 2028,” the RFEF said in their statement.

The 63-year-old has been in the post since 2022, guiding Spain to the Nations League title in 2023 and then to victory against England in last year’s Euro final.

Julian Nagelsmann has also signed a contract extension to remain Germany coach until the end of Euro 2028, the German FA (DFB) announced Friday.

Nagelsmann said his experience at Euro 2024, hosted by Germany, convinced him to stay on for both the 2026 World Cup and the Euros two years later.

“We are on the right path and it is not over yet. We want to continue to develop. We want to win titles,” the 37-year-old said in a statement.
