Andorra Extends Coach Koldo Álvarez de Eulate Until 2027

Koldo Álvarez de Eulate has extended his contract as Andorra's national team coach until December 2027, securing his position for the upcoming Nations League and Euro 2028 qualifiers.

The Andorran Football Federation (FAF) approved the two-year extension during its December board meeting, following negotiations that aligned both parties after the 2026 World Cup qualifiers and a friendly in Finland. This deal continues a pattern of biennial renewals that has kept Álvarez de Eulate in charge since 2009, positioning him to surpass San Marino's Giampaolo Mazza as Europe's longest-serving national team coach by consecutive years upon completion.

The extension emphasizes stability in Andorra's national team project, which prioritizes steady development. Álvarez de Eulate will lead the side into the fifth edition of the Nations League—whose draw is scheduled for 12 February—and the Euro 2028 preliminaries, set for the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland.

Andorra will skip the second edition of the FIFA Series, a biennial friendly tournament organized by FIFA for March in even years. The team took part in the inaugural 2024 version, drawing 1-1 with South Africa—thanks to a Cucu goal—before losing 1-0 to Bolivia. Although participation was considered this time, the FAF opted out.

With no FIFA Series commitment, the federation is arranging two away friendlies for the mid-March international window.
