The
63-year-old guided Spain's U-19 team to victory in the 2015 Euros and the U-21
squad to the 2019 championship.
Spain's
emphatic victory over England in the Euro 2024 final was not just about
securing their fourth European Championship title as it also marked a historic
achievement for their coach, Luis de la Fuente.

all four major European trophies with a national team, the U-19 Euros, U-21
Euros, Nations League, and now the senior Euros.
The
63-year-old Spaniard meticulously built this impressive resume, leading Spain's
U-19 team to victory in the 2015 Euros and the U-21 side to the 2019
championship.
He then
capped it off with a Nations League triumph in 2023.

win fourth Euros
Sunday's
final was a nail-biter as Spain took the lead through Nico Williams in the
second half, but England's substitute Cole Palmer equalised just before the
75th minute.
However,
with only four minutes remaining, Mikel Oryazabal rose to the occasion,
converting a cross from Marc Cucurella to snatch victory and spark jubilant
celebrations.
De la
Fuente's strategic brilliance and his players' unwavering determination secured
a historic win, solidifying Spain's dominance in European football and leaving
a lasting legacy for the coach himself.
