The new Benitez, giving enough time for Guti to get himself ready.
Guti after Zidane would have overwhelming for the Madrid legend.

Julen Lopetegui watch
- Thread starter KM
- Start date
Just can't see how they'd do that, it's not like they play on Monday, they start on Friday evening!
Who is their number two as I doubt they could fly anyone else out in time.
I bet the press are very shortly going to be asking 'Who does number two work for?' insert austin powers gif
embarassing stuff 
Wow, he will get sacked
Shouldnt have taken the job, he will get sacked by Real by the end of the year anyway. With Spain, he could have lasted another few years with a good world cup

Apparently the players blocked his departure
Rubiales, Hierro, Lopetegui and Ramos are in a meeting altogether apparently. I know Hierro and Ramos are in love with Lopetegui, so that means good news for him.
Some journalists in twitter have said all the captains have backed Lopetegui. The captains are Ramos, Silva, Iniesta and Busquets.
Never heard of him. But say he wins the World Cup with Spain, he can clearly do a job with elite players.
They didn't have many choices though and well I thought Zidane was gonna flop, so not ruling out this guy from doing a job.

as if the rest of Spain needed any more reason to dislike Real this happens a few days before the World Cup.Atrocious timing which could possibly derail their NT focus.
He gets the sack!
Holy shit, he's actually gone. They just announced it
The president has said he doesn't mind Madrid signing the coach, but he doesn't like the way he was informed about it, just 15 minutes before the announcement.
Spain fecking up their WC, nice.
Well at least now he can't tap up De Gea
No matter how good Spain players are, they are human and this will affect them so would scrub Spain off the potential winners list.
This is something an African nation would do, likes of Nigeria and Cameroon have sacked their manager just before world cups.
Imagine Lopetegui having to fly back in shame now, what a wierd moment that will be.
Who is Spain assistant manager?

Beyond stupid
Phenomenal.
I think I might actually like the decision.
So fecking small time and petty. Whoever has made that decision should be gone
Thought Moysey was Spanish!
Hahaha. Why would Dave want to join those snakes?
well done Florentino
well done Florentino
Sacked 2 days before their opening WC match.....fecking hell.
Why Madrid thought it would be a good idea to announce this days before the WC is crazy they could have stayed quiete for a few weeks.
Ffs I’ve backed Spain as well

They should just appoint Ramos and Pique co-managers and have done with it.
Its stupid.
Yeah, from Lopetegui.
I was counting on France to self destruct. Fair play to the Spaniards to up the stakes.
Typical, the day after i pull Spain in the works World Cup sweepstakes.
Del Bosque should come back and do them a favour

Serious question, how vital will a manager be for Spain at this point anyway? The players are well experienced and already know the system to play.
Get a well respected coach from the national team backroom staff and appoint him I guess.

this is brilliant
1 day before it begins? Fecking huge they have zero chance now.
Imagine the locker room everybody will be in shock.
Absolutely crazy decision two days before their opening game! The Madrid circus marches on.
Yeah. This is something we've come to know the French for doing in the past but this has probably topped everything.
Well at least now he can't tap up De Gea
I bet that was a factor. We could sue the living crap out of the Spanish FA if he did.
