Conte shows Spain value of a top coach - but no elite managers want Del Bosque's job

The former Real Madrid boss will step down after La Roja's loss to Italy at Euro 2016 on Monday, but their are no big names in the frame to take over and lead a new project

COMMENT

The Vicente del Bosque era is over. The Spain coach has yet to officially announce his decision to leave, but it is no secret that the 65-year-old will walk away after his side were beaten by Italy in Paris on Monday. The problem now is finding a quality replacement.

Spain's Football Federation (RFEF) have known for some time that the former Real Madrid boss would be leaving, yet it still seems there are no plans in place to bring in a successor - and most of the big names are either not interested in the position or have just changed jobs.
