Luis de la Fuente wins the Ballon d'Or award for men's coach of the year
Published
Spanish national team coach Luis de la Fuente has won the Ballon d'Or for best coach of the year in the men's category. The award was announced on Monday, after the coach led Spain to a major international victory.
De la Fuente took charge of the senior national team in 2022, when he replaced Luis Enrique. Since then, he has managed the team in official competitions and built a squad with both young players and veterans. His work has been praised by the press and by fans, who have followed the national team's results closely.
The Ballon d'Or is one of the most important awards in world football. Each year, France Football magazine presents it to the best players and, in some editions, to coaches as well. For this reason, the recognition is of great value to Spanish football.
The award confirms the good form of the Spanish national team, which remains among the most competitive sides in the world. For De la Fuente, the prize is a personal recognition of his career and of the work of his entire coaching staff.
