Ex-Real Madrid coach Del Bosque named president of RFEF Commission

Former Real Madrid and Spain coach Vicente del Bosque has been named president of the RFEF Commission.

Pilar Alegra, Minister of Education, Vocational Training and Sports, made the announcement today.

Alegria said: "You know that last week we created the Supervision, Normalization and Representation Commission of the RFEF, a supervisory body of the Spanish Football Federation. And that is why it is a pride for me to be able to announce to you that the person who will represent this commission will be Vicente del Bosque, who will be the face of Spanish football.

"Firstly, represent Spanish football; secondly, ensure transparency and good work in the next electoral period that the Federation has to experience after the Olympic Games; and thirdly, successfully face the challenges that Spanish football has ahead of it, especially I am referring to the Euro Cup, the Olympic Games and the design of the next World Cup in 2030."
