Vicente Del Bosque is set to remain in charge of Spain after the World Cup, regardless of their performances.

Speaking to Marca, RFEF president Angel Maria Villar lent his support to the coach of La Furia Roja, saying, "Normally if we qualify for the World Cup, the coach's contract is automatically renewed."

"The board of directors want him to continue for two years, no matter what happened. Del Bosque has maintained a high level of performance.

"He has handled them spectacularly. The football has been spectacular for many reasons.

"Everyone recognizes our quality because of our results."

Villar then elaborated on their performances, continuing, "We qualified brilliantly for the World Cup."

"We are on top of the world rankings. We have won all our games except the game against the United States in the Confederations Cup

"We have a great team and we are hopeful of having a great tournament, but it is easier said than done.

"We are aware that millions of Spaniards want us to be world champions."
