On September 21, 2026, the Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) ratified a six-year contract extension for head coach Luis de la Fuente, keeping him in charge until 2032. The deal, agreed during Spain's World Cup triumph, was approved at a meeting in Madrid. De la Fuente has won the 2023 Nations League, Euro 2024, and the 2026 World Cup, and has led Spain to a record 38-match unbeaten run. The extension includes a pay rise and will see him lead Spain through the 2028 Euros, 2030 World Cup, and 2032 Euros.
