Vicente del Bosque, Spain to Part Ways: Latest Details, Comments and Reaction

Vicente del Bosque has confirmed he will step down as Spain's manager after their exit from UEFA Euro 2016.

Speaking to RNE (h/t Sport English), the 65-year-old confirmed he is set to walk away when his deal expires in July, and the decision had nothing to do with "how the European Championships turned out." PerBBC Sport, he previously said the same thing in 2015.

Del Bosque succeeded Luis Aragones as La Roja manager following their victory at Euro 2008, and he subsequently guided them to back-to-back victories at the 2010 FIFA World Cup and Euro 2012.
