On 8 December 2022, de la Fuente was appointed as 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. He was officially presented four days later, with a contract running until UEFA Euro 2024 with the option to be extended.
Due to his background coaching in youth setups, de la Fuente liked to work with younger players familiar to him and not high-maintenance. Mikel Merino and Mikel Oyarzabal won the under-21 European championship title during his tenure, and later represented the full team under the same manager.
He explained his philosophy by stating that “I come from a grassroots background. Our commitment, to the people we trust in the youth system, is not a pose, it is a conviction”
