The Spanish Football Federation presented the new coach, Luis de la Fuente, on Monday after the team's elimination in the round of 16 of the World Cup.

The U-21 coach responded to those who criticized his lack of experience at big clubs, pointing to his years managing the youth ranks of the Spanish team.

"In all humility and modesty, if anyone in Spain knows the present and the future of Spanish football, it is this man who is sitting in front of you," he told reporters at a news conference in the sports city of Las Rozas.

Spain were defeated on penalties by Morocco after a goalless draw, an unexpected result after failing to turn dominance into victory.

De la Fuente, 61, came to the RFEF in 2013 as the U-15 coach, having worked with players such as Marco Asensio, goalkeeper Unai Simón, Eric García, Pau Torres, Pedri, Carlos Soler and Dani Olmo when they were youth players.
