Vicente Del Bosque has received the support of the Spanish Football Federation despite their swift elimination from the 2014 World Cup.

RFEF director of football Jorge Perez on Friday underlined the federation's support for Del Bosque, who led the side to their previous two major tournament triumphs.

"From top to bottom in the federation, we are all behind Del Bosque," he told Radio Cope.

"If we have the best coach around, why would we change?

"We still haven't spoken with Del Bosque because we think that it is better to put a bit of distance between us and then talk calmly.

"He won't be affected by the criticism, but his family might convince him to leave.

"We won't find anyone better. If he tries to resign, we will try to convince him to stay."
