Spain's Aragones to step down after Euro 2008

Madrid (dpa) - Spain coach Luis Aragones has said he intends to step down after next year's European Championship.



Aragones revealed his decision after Spain qualified for Euro 2008 in Austria and Switzerland by beating Sweden 3-0 in Madrid late Saturday.

 "I have an expiry date and you all know that. It's like milk. When it goes off you don't drink it," Aragones said.

 The 69-year-old coach took charge of the national team in 2004. He previously coached several clubs including Atletico Madrid, Barcelona and Valencia.
