Spain boss Luis de la Fuente, fresh off winning Euro 2024, is reportedly interested in becoming the next USA manager. The 63-year-old led Spain to their fourth European title by winning all seven matches, including a decisive final against England. According to the Washington Post, De la Fuente is seeking a new challenge ahead of the 2026 World Cup.
His representatives have already contacted the US Football Association, expressing his interest in the vacant position following Gregg Berhalter’s dismissal after a poor Copa America showing. US soccer chiefs are eager to hire a “serial winner” for the upcoming World Cup, considering big names like Liverpool legend Jurgen Klopp, who declined the offer, and LAFC boss Steve Cherundolo.
De la Fuente, contracted with Spain until July 2026, is expected to lead Spain to the World Cup but maybe using the US interest to leverage better recognition from the Spanish FA, according to Spanish football expert Guillem Balague. Additionally, Champions League-winning former Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez has shown firm interest in the USA role.
