La Roja booked place at Euros with victory in Norway‘We have a team for the future,’ declares De la Fuente
The Spain coach, Luis de la Fuente, has found a way to turn his doubters into supporters. Nearly a year after he was appointed amid a wave of scepticism, De la Fuente now has widespread backing at the helm of La Roja, having turned Spain into a contender again and comfortably securing the team a spot at Euro 2024.
Spain qualified for next year’s tournament in Germany on Sunday with a 1-0 win in Norway – the team’s sixth straight triumph since a loss at Scotland in March had left De la Fuente under pressure just two games into his stint.
