"Would only be fair"
Spain’s title-winning coach feels underpaid
Spain's European champion coach Luis de la Fuente is demanding a pay rise. After all, he "only" earns 600,000 euros a year.
In mid-July, Spain were crowned European champions in Germany for the third time in their history. Tomorrow, the "Iberians" will play their first home game as title holders - in the third Nations League match against Denmark in Murcia. Without winger Nico Williams, the 22-year-old left the training camp early due to unspecified "physical complaints". "We will find solutions to replace him," emphasizes Spain team boss Luis de la Fuente.
The 63-year-old is less concerned about his own salary - he is said to earn around 600,000 euros per year. That is around a sixth (!) of his predecessor Luis Enrique. Despite winning the European Championship title, there has been no upgrade so far. "I have my contract until after the World Cup (note: 2026), just like my employees. My staff have improved their conditions, but the same conditions apply to me as when I was promoted from the U21 team. I have a contract as an executive and not as a top coach, that's it." It would therefore only be fair if the contract was adjusted financially. De La Fuente emphasized that he was proud to be able to coach his home country. But: "You should appreciate what I have achieved."
