Who was Spain's head coach when they won the 2010 FIFA World Cup?

Vicente del Bosque was Spain’s head coach when they won the 2010 FIFA World Cup.

Del Bosque took charge of Spain after their triumph at UEFA Euro 2008, succeeding Luis Aragonés. He preserved the team’s possession-based style while guiding a golden generation that included Xavi, Andrés Iniesta, Iker Casillas and Sergio Ramos.

Spain lost their opening match to Switzerland but recovered to win their remaining group games. They then defeated Portugal, Paraguay and Germany by 1–0 scores before Iniesta scored in extra time against the Netherlands in the final.

Luis Aragonés is a common source of confusion because he coached Spain to the 2008 European Championship. Pep Guardiola coached Barcelona during this era, not Spain, while Rafael Benítez never managed the national team.
