By Ahmad Hadizat Omayoza, Mamos Nigeria
Luis de la Fuente, the current coach of the Spanish national football team, has recently signed a contract extension that will see him remain at the helm until 2026. This development comes as the Spanish Football Federation seeks to provide stability and continuity to the national team in the lead-up to the European Championships, which are scheduled to take place in June. The extension of Fuente’s contract means that he will also be in charge during the next World Cup, which is set to be held in the United States, Mexico, and Canada.
Fuente took over as Spain’s coach in 2022 following the team’s disappointing exit from the World Cup in Qatar. His initial contract was set to expire on June 30, which would have left the team without a coach in the midst of the Euros. However, with the contract extension, Fuente will be able to continue his work with the national team and lead them through the upcoming tournaments.
The decision to extend Fuente’s contract reflects the Spanish Football Federation’s confidence in his abilities as a coach and his vision for the team. It also highlights the importance of providing stability and continuity to the national team, especially during major tournaments like the Euros and the World Cup. With Fuente at the helm, the Spanish national team will be looking to build on their recent successes and continue to compete at the highest level on the international stage.
