The Spanish coach, Luis de la Fuente, has capped off a dream 2025 by being named, for the second consecutive year, the best men's national team coach in the world. The prestigious recognition, awarded by the IFFHS (International Federation of Football History & Statistics), confirms the absolute dominance of the coach from La Rioja on the international stage.
De la Fuente led the ranking with 136 points, comfortably surpassing figures such as Roberto MartĂnez and the Argentine Lionel Scaloni, who was the winner of the 2022 and 2023 editions.
A Year of Historic Records
The merits for this award are undeniable. Under his leadership, the Spanish National Team not only secured qualification for the 2026 World Cup, but did so by breaking historical barriers. Spain reached the astonishing figure of 31 official matches unbeaten, setting a new world record for invincibility.
Return to the Top of Football
In addition to the results on the field, De la Fuente's management allowed "La Roja" to reclaim the top spot in the FIFA ranking. These achievements consolidate his footballing vision and establish him as the most influential coach of the moment. With this IFFHS double championship, Spain heads into the World Cup year as the top team to beat.
