Spanish federation plans long‑term deal for World Cup winning coach

Spain's football federation has announced intentions to sign a multi‑year contract with Luis de la Fuente, the architect of the 2026 World Cup victory. The proposal would see his existing deal, due to finish in 2028, extended to the 2030 World Cup, which Spain will co‑host. Federation leaders highlighted his modest demeanor, strategic skill and the cohesive squad he built as reasons for rewarding him with a longer commitment.
