Del Bosque confirms final bow from soccer

Vicente del Bosque brought the curtain down on one of the most successful managerial careers in soccer on Thursday by confirming he has resigned from the Spain job and does not expect to coach again.

His departure comes just days after the reigning champion crashed out of Euro 2016 - a sad end to a trophy-laden career with club and country.

"Without a doubt, I have no intention to remain as coach, but you have to be discreet," the 65-year-old told Spanish public radio RNE, confirming media reports that he was stepping down.
