Former Spain coach Vicente del Bosque will preside the Spanish government’s commission overseeing the Spanish Football Federation after a corruption probe targeted the current and former federation presidents.
The addition of Del Bosque may help the image of Spanish soccer after the government expressed concern for the reputational damage to the federation as the country is set to co-host the 2030 men’s World Cup with Portugal and Morocco. Spain is also hoping for success at this summer’s men’s European Championship and at the Paris Olympics.
“Del Bosque represents the best of our country in soccer,” Pilar Alegría, the minister representing Spain’s top sports authority, said at Tuesday’s announcement. “He is our world champion, our European champion. He is a beloved man.” The 73-year-old Del Bosque was Spain’s coach when it won the 2010 World Cup and the 2012 European Championship.
