Spain’s Nations League Win Eases Concerns About De la Fuente’s Project

Date:

Spain’s Luis de la Fuente has silenced his critics by leading the country to Nations League glory, ending a 10-year trophy drought. De la Fuente’s appointment as coach raised eyebrows, given his relative lack of experience, but he has proved his worth by guiding Spain to victory over Italy and Croatia. The triumph has eased tensions following Spain’s Euro 2024 qualifying defeat by Scotland in March. De la Fuente’s biggest decision has been to shift to a 4-2-3-1 formation, with Manchester City midfielder Rodri playing a key role. The 26-year-old was named player of the Nations League finals and is now seen as Spain’s torchbearer.
