De la Fuente was appointed coach in December 2022, succeeding Luis Enrique after Spain’s elimination by Morocco in the round of 16 of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
His contract ended on June 30th, in the middle of the European Championship, but there was a renewal clause that was activated.
Since the coach’s arrival, the team has won the 2023 Nations League and qualified for the European Championship, in which they will be seeded in Group B alongside Albania, Croatia and Italy.
In 13 games, De La Fuente has a record of nine wins, two draws and two defeats.
