Real Madrid To Announce Lopetegui As New Coach

Spain’s football federation sacked Lopetegui as the country’s national team coach on Wednesday on the eve of the start of the World Cup, a day after Real announced they had hired him to replace Zinedine Zidane.

Recall that Naija News reported that Spain sacked Lopetegui as their national team coach and chose Fernando Hierro in his place.

Real Madrid will present Julen Lopetegui as their new coach at the Santiago Bernabeu stadium on Thursday at 6 pm (1700 GMT), the Spanish giants said in a statement.

The new coach has a big responsibility to tackle as he takes over at the Spanish club who have won the UEFA Champions league in each of the last three seasons.
