The 61-year-old replaced Luis Enrique in December after Spain crashed out of the World Cup in the Last 16 and has faced criticism ahead of the “final four.”
Spain suffered a 2-0 defeat by Scotland in Euro 2024 qualifying in March, and despite beating Norway 3-0 in his first match in charge, the performance was far from convincing.
“We think about getting to the final. There is no ‘next day’, I look at it as if it’s my last game—not just now, but always,” De la Fuente told a news conference on Wednesday.
