Subscriber CaaC (John)+ 5,358 Posted June 4, 2019 Subscriber Share Posted June 4, 2019 Julen Lopetegui: Sevilla appoint former Real Madrid and Spain manager Former Spain and Real Madrid boss Julen Lopetegui has been appointed as Sevilla manager on a three-year contract. Lopetegui, 52, was sacked by Spain two days before the start of the 2018 World Cup after he was named as the new Real manager. He was then sacked by Real in October after four-and-a-half months in charge following a 5-1 defeat by Barcelona. Sevilla finished sixth in La Liga last season and sacked Pablo Machin in March after their Europa League exit. His successor Joaquin Caparros, who was only appointed until the end of the season, revealed in April that he has chronic leukaemia. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/48510777 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SirBalon 2,692 Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 I’m not upto scratch on Caparrós’ full situation but I do know quite a bit about Leukaemia due to my father having passed away with this disease. Chronic Leukaemia of treated correctly is one of the very manageable forms of this cancer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It didn't work out for him at Real Madrid, although he went there at the worst time and that was the main reason it didn't work. He could do very well at Sevilla, especially if they can keep their current crop of players together. Let's remember that they were challengers for half of a season last term before falling off, so the potential is there, they just need a competent manager to guide them. A little bit of investment wouldn't hurt either, although I'm not quite sure on Sevilla's current financial situation and whether they are able to spend a little bit in the summer. Another big plus is that Monchi is back there now. Himself and Lopetegui could be a nice mix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Gonzo 8,180 Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 Honestly, after the world cup I'm surprised he can still manage to find work in Spain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think so mate, although I doubt Sevilla fans will be complaining if he does well there. It was certainly a terrible way of turning your back on the national team though as they may have had a good world cup had he not left them in the lurch.
