The contract of Luis de la Fuente is on the table again at the coach’s presentation this Friday before the next two promises of League of Nations. He has been asked twice about the contract which has remained the same since he signed instead of Luis Enrique in December 2022.
First Luis de la Fuente stated that “the important thing is that I resolved this whole situation with the RFEF for the good of the institution, of Spanish football and because they are fixing my contract. It is something that does not concern me now, there is a very -advance conversation. Hopefully in December, “When all this is resolved, it will be resolved. And if not, it’s time to explain to each party what’s going on.”
A few minutes later he insisted that he hoped that, when the whole process was over in RFEF; “Everything we talked about is reflected. That’s why I’m so calm and the federation is necessary. There is a commitment for both parties to be calm”
Because that’s not all RFEF can sign a new contract with Luis de la Fuente. Until then, it continues with the initial one, which was later extended by the Management Committee on February 22 of the same year. On that day, as we already explained on September 12, its automatic renewal was agreed until the 2026 World Cup with the same salary.
Proposal where Luis de la Fuente He has retained the same financial values he has been receiving since he took over in December 2022 after the departure of Luis Enrique. A necessary renewal as his contract expired in the middle of the Euro Cup.
On June 4, the RFEF, a few days before the start of the Euro Cup, renewed its entire work group to travel to the Euro Cup under this new situation and since all its contracts expired on June 30, throughout the celebration of the Euro Cup
This is the power of the president approved by the Board of Directors.
During the Euro Cup, president Pedro Rocha, who was elected in April of this year, and coach Luis de la Fuente agreed on the numbers of the new contract that will be established after the completion of the tournament. But it appears that Pedro Rocha was disqualified by TAD on Tuesday, July 16, just two days after winning the Euro Cup.
As we already have in MD, the renewal of a coach is a presidential power that must be approved by the Board of Directors as established by the RFEF Statutes: “Design, at the proposal of the President, of the National Selectors, as well as the technical team.”
This explains why Luis de la Fuente has not yet been able to renew his contract and will not be able to do so until the end of the electoral process that begins in a few weeks and runs until January 2025. This is after both parties can renew his contract at the closing of the new contract numbers and have it approved by the new president and the Board of Directors. There is a total predisposition on the part of the RFEF to improve it but the times and the federative situation have prevented it so far.
