MADRID, July 15 (Reuters) - Former Real Madrid coach Vicente del Bosque will take charge of Spain until the 2010 World Cup after his appointment was approved at a meeting of the Spanish Football Federation on Tuesday, local media reported.

The 57-year-old replaces Luis Aragones, who quit to join Fenerbahce after leading the national side to victory at Euro 2008 in June.
