The 51-year-old manager has been in charge of the Spanish national team since 2016, having previously coached at U19, U20 and U21 junior levels.
He was in charge of Porto before taking the job as Spain’s head coach.
The former Los Blancos goalkeeper is yet to win any trophy at senior level as a manager but will be hoping that changes this summer as he plans to lead La Roja to their second FIFA World Cup glory in Russia this summer.
