Luis de la Fuente has been named the new coach of Spain, the Spanish federation (RFEF) announced on Thursday following the dismissal of Luis Enrique, two days after the elimination in the round of 16 of the 2022 World Cup against Morocco ( 0-0 ap, 3-0 on pens).
Until now coach of the Spanish under-21 selection, Luis de la Fuente will be presented on Monday and will take his first steps in March with the qualifying matches for Euro-2024 in Germany.

“The RFEF have chosen Luis de la Fuente as their new national coach.
Sports director José Francisco Molina has submitted a report to President Luis Rubiales where he recommends choosing the technician from La Rioja (northern Spain, editor's note), (...) to carry out the new stage which begins after the World Cup in Qatar,” said the Spanish federation.
De La Fuente's appointment, however, will need to be ratified by the Spanish FA's management committee on Monday.
