Luis de la Fuente Castillo (born 21 June 1961) is a Spanish football manager and former professional player who played as a left-back.

He amassed La Liga totals of 254 matches and six goals over 13 seasons, with Athletic Bilbao and Sevilla, winning two league titles with the former including a double with the Copa del Rey in 1984.

[6] In July 1987, de la Fuente signed for fellow top-flight club Sevilla,[7] and continued to appear regularly the following campaigns in defence or as a left winger.

In summer 2000, he was appointed at Segunda División B club Aurrerá de Vitoria,[11] but was sacked in March of the following year in spite of a seventh place in the table.

[22] On 8 June 2021, de la Fuente and his team filled in as the Spain senior side for a UEFA Euro 2020 friendly against Lithuania, after the aforementioned squad had gone into isolation when Sergio Busquets tested positive for COVID-19.

[26] On 8 December 2022, de la Fuente was appointed head coach of the senior side, as Luis Enrique resigned following a round-of-16 penalty shootout elimination at the 2022 FIFA World Cup by Morocco.

[28] De la Fuente won 3–0 in a European qualifier at home to Norway in his first game on 25 March 2023, with two goals by 32-year-old debutant Joselu.

[33] Due to his background coaching in youth setups, de la Fuente liked to work with younger players familiar to him and not high-maintenance.
