According to football journalist Romano, Ballon d'Or Best Coach nominee De la Fuente has signed a new contract with the Spanish Football Federation, with his tenure running through July 2030. The manager who led Spain to Euro and World Cup double triumphs will guide the squad through the UEFA Nations League, Euro, and 2030 World Cup.

Romano called him the long-term cornerstone of the team, widely respected by players. The RFEF recognizes the team culture and tactical system he has built, and chose to extend the contract to maintain continuity and foster an environment for young players to develop.
