FIFA WC Final: Luis De La Fuente's Quiet Evolution Taking Spain To The Brink Of Glory
FIFA World Cup: Spain coach Luis de la Fuente says the only thing that makes him nervous about the 2026 FIFA World Cup final against Argentina is that his team will have to fly in a helicopter.
The comment says a lot about the calm radiated by the 65-year-old, who spent most of his playing career at Athletic Bilbao and most of his coaching career with youth teams, with five seasons in the Athletic Bilbao youth system and joining the Spanish Football Federation in 2013, with just 11 games with Deportivo Alaves virtually his only experience at club level.
Perhaps it is his progress from Spain Under-19 coach to Under-21 coach to the full team after the disappointment of Qatar 2022 that defines De la Fuente as a coach who prefers evolution over revolution - something that is clear in how Spain has adapted at this World Cup, reports Xinhua.
