New Spain head coach Luis de la Fuente will be formally presented tomorrow ahead of a crucial first press conference.
The RFEF acted swiftly following Spain’s last 16 exit from the 2022 World Cup, at the hands of Morocco, with Luis Enrique stepping away from his role, and de la Fuente announced as his successor less than an hour later.
The move to promote de la Fuente from his role as U21 boss continues his climb up the Spanish national team system and into the top job after winning European Championship titles at U19 and U21 level.
🔴 Y mañana, desde la Ciudad del Fútbol…

De la Fuente will face a formal media questioning for the first time since replacing Enrique and he is expected to lay out his early plans for La Roja’s Euro 2024 qualification campaign.
The presentation will take place at Spain’s Las Rozas training base in Madrid, with his contract confirmed as running until after Euro 2024, when a future review will take place.
