Spain Previously in charge between 2007 and 2011

There is to be a meeting held at the Ciudad de Futbol in Las Rozas following the announcement of Fernando Hierro becoming the new sporting director of the Spanish Football Federation (RFEF).

Since he left the position in 2011, no-one had taken over the role despite the incorporation of Vicente Casado as marketing director.

Hierro took charge in 2007 and was there during the Spanish national team's best moments; the European Championship win in 2008 under Luis Aragones and the World Cup triumph in 2010, when Vicente del Bosque was at the helm.
