Madrid: Spain coach Vicente del Bosque confirmed yesterday that his incredibly successful reign as leader of his country’s national side will conclude at the end of the 2014 FIFA World Cup.
Former Real Madrid coach, Del Bosque is one of the most successful coaches in history, leading Spain to their first ever World Cup in 2010 and then masterminding the defence of the European Championship in 2012, making Spain the first country to ever win a European Championship (2008), then win the World Cup and then defend its European crown.
However, all good things must come to an end and the 62-year-old announced that he will step down after the next World Cup in Brazil.
“My last responsibility as Spain coach will be the World Cup in Brazil,” he confirmed, although he confessed that could not be the end of his role in football.IANS
