The veteran mentor has renewed his current contract with La Furia Roja and is expected to stay on as the Spanish national coach after EURO 2012.
Del Bosque himself made the statement in which he revealed that he has signed a new contract with the Spanish football federation (RFEF). Although he did not clearly state the time period on the new contract, he is expected to remain at the helm of affairs
until the FIFA World Cup 2014 in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Brazil-c2858, as suggested by reports.
The 61-year-old has enjoyed a very successful spell with the current world champions and things appear to be quite comfortable for the manager so far.
Ever since taking over the team in 2008, Del Bosque’s record with Spain has been nothing less than impressive.
The Spaniard is also the first manager in the history of football to have won his first 10 games while being in charge of a national side. His record of first 13 consecutive victories still stands unbroken.
Apart from being simply outstanding in friendly and exhibition matches, the mentor led La Roja to a triumphant World Cup qualifying campaign.
During the qualifiers, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Spain-c3011 broke another record by finishing the campaign with a perfect record as they managed to win all of their ten games.
Consequently, the former Real Madrid coach assembled a destructive squad ahead of World Cup 2010 in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/South-Africa-c757 as well.
Although, interestingly, the L'equip d'or lost the first match of their World Cup campaign succumbing 1-0 to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Switzerland-c3016, it was their only defeat throughout football’s most prestigious competition.
Being tipped as heavy favourites, the Reds had little difficulty in paving their way to the final and becoming the champions of the world for the first time.
Even though Spain had one of the strongest squads in the world, Del Bosque was also given a great deal of credit in leading the side to this triumph.
Now, with the coach having re-signed his contract, things are looking extremely good for La Azul Celeste ahead of their EURO 2012 campaign in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Poland-c2983.
Spain are without a doubt among the favourites to lift the silverware once again this summer as they appear to be enjoying one of the glorious periods in their history. Can they retain their European title this year? Only time can tell.
