Denia becomes Czech Republic's first foreign head coach

On July 31, former Spain youth coach Santi Denia was appointed as the head coach of the Czech Republic national team by the country's football association (FACR). This marks Denia as the first foreign manager to lead the Czech team, signing a two-year contract with an option for extension. He replaces Miroslav Koubek, who resigned after the 2026 World Cup where the Czech team was eliminated in the group stage. Denia, known for leading Spain's Olympic team to gold at the 2024 Paris Games, will take charge of his first matches in September, facing Croatia and England, with a potential clash against Spain under his former colleague Luis de la Fuente.
