Luis de la Fuente extends Spain contract until
Euro 2028
Luis de la Fuente has agreed a new contract with the Spanish men’s national team through to the end of Euro 2028.
The 63-year-old took over as head coach of the senior side after Luis Enrique departed following the team’s round-of-16 exit at the 2022 World Cup.
De la Fuente’s existing deal with the RFEF (Spanish Football Federation) had been due to expire after the 2026 World Cup, with the 63-year-old last signing a contract extension in February 2024.
That came a few months before Spain won the European Championship under De la Fuente in Germany, their first major title since Euro 2012.

Germany men’s head coach Julian Nagelsmann has extended his contract through to the 2028 European Championship.
Nagelsmann last extended his contract with the DFB (German FA) in April 2024, signing on until the 2026 World Cup.
The 37-year-old was initially appointed on a short-term deal to replace Hansi Flick in September 2023, ahead of the Euros in Germany the following summer.
Nagelsmann guided Germany to the quarter-finals where they lost in extra time to eventual tournament winners Spain.

Jude Bellingham: 'I felt like the scapegoat' for England at

Jude Bellingham says he did not enjoy playing for England after the 2024 European Championship having felt “like the scapegoat” at the tournament.
The 21-year-old midfielder said his enjoyment returned during former interim head coach Lee Carsley’s final camp in charge, after believing he had been “a little bit mistreated” during England’s run to the Euro 2024 final, where they lost to Spain.
Bellingham started all seven of England’s matches at the Euros but said he faced criticism for his attitude and willingness to participate in media duties, which...

Hungary coach Adam Szalai 'stable and conscious' after medical emergency in
Netherlands game
Hungary coach Adam Szalai is “stable and conscious” after becoming unwell in the first half of the team’s Nations League match against the Netherlands.
The 36-year-old, a member of head coach Marco Rossi’s backroom staff, became unwell in the seventh minute of Saturday night’s match in Amsterdam.
The match was suspended as medics attended to Szalai and his fellow coaches formed a protective circle around him as he received treatment, before the former striker was taken down the tunnel.

Romania’s home match against Kosovo in the Nations League was abandoned after the away team refused to complete the fixture following chants from the home fans.
Friday’s match in Bucharest was goalless in second-half stoppage time as the Kosovo players walked off the pitch and did not return.
After a clash between the teams on the pitch, audible chants of “Serbia, Serbia, Serbia” could be heard from video footage posted on social media, prompting the Kosovan players to walk off.
The Kosovan Football Federation (FFK) alleged in a statement that a “Kosovo is...
