Spain have rewarded coach Vicente Del Bosque with a contract extension after he guided them to the World Cup finals.
Del Bosque took charge after Euro 2008 when Luis Aragones guided them to the title.
Del Bosque has continued the good work of his predecessor, with Spain defeated just once during his tenure - the shock semi-final reverse to USA in the Confederations Cup.
Spain's latest victory came on Wednesday evening when they dispatched Estonia 3-0 to seal their place in South Africa.
The Spanish Football Federation have now been quick to confirm an agreement is in place for Del Bosque to continue as coach until 2012.
Speaking after gaining qualification, Del Bosque said: "We have fulfilled our first objective, to be present in South Africa.
"Now it is necessary to work hard and be in the best condition for the competition."
