It was raining at Ciudad del Fútbol, but there were bright smiles, congratulations, hugs, greetings to the technical staff, photo session hours before the presentation of the new national coach of the Spanish national team at Luis Aragonés hall.

This is how this intense Monday went for Luis de la Fuente Castillo, who has officially become the new national team coach after the vote carried out by the RFEF board of directors. The president, Luis Rubiales, thanked the unanimous confidence of the directors in the decision taken last week.

Rubiales and De la Fuente embraced each other before attending the official presentation in the presence of dozens of media in the Luis Aragonés hall in Las Rozas.

"I'm very excited, happy, calm and eager to start working on the idea we have," said the coach from La Rioja, looking forward to starting right away "to build a team, the team of all Spaniards", he concluded.
