Vicente del Bosque, the most successful coach in modern football, set two records at the 2010 FIFA World Cup staged in South Africa.
The veteran tactician who announced his retirement in June, 2016, became the first coach to guide Spain to a world cup title.
No manager, in the history of Spanish football, had come close to lifting the coveted title before.

Spain won the prestigious trophy in the dying moments of the match, when former Barcelona midfielder Andreas Iniesta put the ball past Netherlands goalkeeper Maarten Stekelenburg to put his side in control.
By lifting the trophy, Bosque also became the oldest coach to win the world Cup - he did so at the age of 59.
Alberto Horacio Suppici, is the youngest coach to win the world cup title. He led his country Uruguay to the world cup title in 1930 at the age of 31.
Other managers who won the world cup in their 30s include Mario Zagallo and Cesar Luis Menotti. The former won the title in 1978 with Argentina at the age of 39.
Zagallo on the other hand, helped Brazil to triumph in the 1970 edition aged 38.
Apart from making world cup history, Vicente is also the only coach who ever clinched the UEFA Champions League, UEFA Euros, and Intercontinental Cup titles.
In a 2014 interview with Financial Times, Bosque revealed what he told his players before the world cup final in Johannesburg.
“I told them to think of themselves as the romantics of football facing the most important game of their lives. I was appealing to the romanticism that I think a lot of us carry within us from childhood.
“However much you professionalize football, however much money is involved, the important thing is to defend the nobility of football," he disclosed.
