Federation president Rafael Louzán emphasized the stability and trust in De la Fuente, who led Spain to its second World Cup title in July. The victory over Argentina gave Spain a 38-game unbeaten streak. De la Fuente has won 38 of his 50 games in charge since taking over from Luis Enrique after the 2022 World Cup.
