Spain coach Vicente Del Bosque's job is safe no matter what happens in their next two group matches at the World Cup, according to Spanish football federation (RFEF) president Angel Maria Villar.
Spain suffered a shock defeat in their opening Group H match against Switzerland and the European champions now face a battle to get through to the last 16.
Villar said: "There is no issue with Del Bosque because he has a contract, he renewed in December and because there is total confidence in him. Whatever happens at the World Cup, Del Bosque will continue as coach. I'm very sure about that."
