I admire coach Lopetegui and also respect him. Lopetegui is the world’s top coach. So, the decision to fire him became more difficult. But obviously, he and Real Madrid can not do that with the Spanish team just 2.3 days before the 2018 World Cup. I just know that coach Lopetegui to lead Real Madrid spent 5 minutes before the club announced this official. That’s not acceptable. We were forced to fire him.
Winning the World Cup is important but there are more important things, such as working attitude. ”
According to preliminary information, the Spanish Football Federation may appoint former coach Fernando Hierro, the sports director of the League, to take over the managerial seat of the national team temporarily.
