MADRID, July 4 (Reuters) - Spain's football federation (RFEF) have had talks with former Real Madrid coach Vicente del Bosque in their search for a successor to Luis Aragones as
national coach of the European champions.
'The board of the RFEF is working to find a coach and I can
confirm that we have had talks with Del Bosque,' Spanish
Football Federation (RFEF) president Angel Maria Villar told
Radio Marca on Friday.
Local media have reported that Del Bosque, who led Real to
two Champions Leagues titles and two Spanish championships, has
already reached a verbal agreement with the federation and is
likely to be appointed to the post in the next two weeks.
Aragones, who will turn 70 later this month, stepped down
after leading Spain to victory at Euro 2008, their first major
title in 44 years.
He said the federation had not offered him the chance to
extend his contract.
Aragones travelled to Istanbul on Thursday to sign a
two-year deal to coach Turkish side Fenerbahce.
