Lopetegui isn’t and asset and there’s the answer for that one mate. He is an asset because you are asking the entire team to look towards another manager for guidance the day before the world cup. And instead of the players being asked about their nerves, or practice, they will be asked 1,000 times about the change in manager, the discord in the situation.

He was a traitorous snake with the people that have stood by him all the way. A scumbag although not as scummy as Real Madrid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disgraceful decision by madrid to announce this. Incredible sabotage. Absolutely he deserved to be fired for such traitorous behavior. HOWVER utterly short sighted and stupid decision to actually fire him. The people of Spain and the players deserved to have the best chance to compete in the cup. And as much as madrid undermined that so did the federation by throwing the guy who built the strategy out the door. The better option would have been to deescalate the matter, act like you don't care and refuse to discuss anything beyond the end of the current world cup. The needs of the many should have outweighed the needs of the few... i really don't think he made the right call at all despite the fact he had cause.

SirBalon 2,692 Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 Ok guys... Read this and readnit carefully. As the news hit the world of football with Real Madrid announcing they had appointed Julen Lopetegui as head coach. The president of the RFEF who was at the beginning the only one who knew how it had all happened behind the backs of everyone including the players themselves... He straight away told Lopetegui to leave and that he was sacked! At this moment all the players stood up for Julen Lopetegui and demanded that the president of the RFEF reconsider and at least let the coach finish the World Cup. The president said he would think about it but everyone surrounding the president in the RFEF including none other than Fernando Hierro who is an ultimate Real Madrid legend, said no! The RFEF had learned how the treachery had occurred behind their backs. So the president early this morning told the players that the RFEF would maintain their decision and would rescind Lopetegui’s contract. He also told the players how it had all occurred and at this point Lopetegui lost all his support from the players barring one, Sergio Ramos. But even Ramos wasn’t being as adamant anymore. This is the truth! The truth is that in the end the players weren’t behind their coach anymore although they had been unanimously at the start of this fiasco. Why did they suddenly change their mind? Well curiously because of a team talk Lopetegui gave three days ago which went like this (read carefully and think)... “I know some of you have your futures in the air at the moment and may be looking to change clubs or in negotiations to better your contracts.” ”All I ask of all of you is to give me 1 month of your full application. Let’s see how far we can go but lets all give 100% to our fans and this crest. Stay faithful to me like you’ve always been.” Traitorous not only to his employer (his employer also being the country), but to his own players. There is no way in hell he could carry on!

El Profesor 1,457 Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 It seems @SirBalon is right. The majority of the dressing room had lost confidence in Lopetegui according to the reports. Man, everything that agents like Raiola and Mendes touch dies. Incredible. https://elpais.com/deportes/2018/06/13/mundial_futbol/1528881429_526236.html?id_externo_rsoc=TW_CM_DP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 Shocking decision. Even if the dressing room had lost confidence, how are you going to sack your manager 1 day before the World Cup? Spain aren't in a particularly easy group either. There is Portugal who will cause problems and 2 other well drilled sides. I always said that Spain still have that "underachievement" in them and it wouldn't surprise me to see it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Profesor 1,457 Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 Zidane killed Spain in 06, and now is killing Spain again. What a boss!
