Spain coach Vicente del Bosque has announced his retirement.

Del Bosque is the most successful coach in Spain history, leading his country to victory at the 2010 World Cup and Euro 2012, but he has now decided to call it a day after eight years in charge of La Roja.

The 65-year-old, who had spoken previously about the possibility of stepping down after Euro 2016, told the Radiogaceta de los Deportes programme on Spanish radio station RNE: "Without any doubt, I have no intention of continuing as coach."

He added: "I have a contract until July 31 with the (Spanish Football) Federation. I've been in the Ciudad Deportiva (Federation's headquarters) this morning. I have no intention of continuing as coach but there's still a bit of time left."

Spain saw the defence of their European title come to an end on Monday with a 2-0 defeat to Italy in the last 16 at Euro 2016.
