After the controversy caused by his applause for Luis Rubiales, the La Roja coach will announce the list for the duels on the way to Euro 2024.
The selection of Spain will appear again in September 2023 then continued with Luis de la Fuente as coach the resignation of Luis Enrique Martinez December 2022.
In that sense, De la Fuente will call up next Friday, September 1, for the duels against Georgia and Cyprus, both qualifying matches for the European Championship 2024.
And he will have to do it in the controversy created by the “Rubiales case”, with much of the public rejecting the applause that the Spanish coach gave the RFEF president at the Extraordinary General Assembly on Friday 25 August.
ThatYes: While applauding Rubiales’ speech (suspended by FIFA the following day) in Las Rozas that afternoon, he released a statement 24 hours later condemning “conclusively the wrong conduct” of the former AFE top manager.
Anyway, De la Fuente has to make his third call-up next Friday for the games against Georgia and Cyprus. For those games he will not be able to count on Borja Iglesias, who recently gave up his move to the senior team precisely because of the ‘Rubiales Case’.
It is the coach’s first call-up after winning the UEFA Nations League title.
