    Spanish Coach just got Sacked

    Spain sacked coach Julen Lopetegui just two days before the team's opening game against Portugal at the World Cup, Spanish football federation chief Luis Rubiales confirmed on Wednesday.
    In a surprise announcement on Tuesday, Real Madrid named Lopetegui as their next manager to start work after the tournament in Russia, sparking outrage among the federation and Spanish fans at the timing of the announcement.

    Lopetegui was announced as Zinedine Zidane's successor at the Santiago Bernabeu in a shock announcement on Tuesday that has rocked one of the pre-tournament favourites' preparations.



    Spanish federation chief Luis Rubiales was furious at Lopetegui's decision to take the job, having signed a contract extension until 2020 just last month.

    "The future of Julen Lopetegui as Spanish national team manager hangs by a thread," said Madrid-based sports daily Marca.

            This is a classic example of when you want, as we Iranians say, both Khoda and Khorma

            The dude couldn’t wait until the World Cup was over and didn’t want Real Madrid to change their mind so he signed without notifying the Spanish Football Federation lool!

                    He must have little confidence in himself or his team to jump ship right before the tournament. Could have simply waited if he really thought Spain was going to win the cup or go far in this tournament.

                      This is bad news for us if we really want to qualify for the round of 16. If Portugal beat Spain, our chance will be slim.

                        In other news, from FIFA Facebook page: "The Member Associations of Canada, Mexico, USA have been appointed by the FIFA Congress to host the 2026 FIFA World Cup.”

                            Real could have played this a bit better, this guy will be under huge stress replacing Zidane and now this.. Why did they have to announce it 3 days before WC and only inform the Spanish federation 15 minutes prior to that? That's pretty absurd!
                            Anyways, I don't think this will affect the Spanish players a lot.

                            Anyways the IFF could learn a thing or two from the Spanish federation, They heard about the news, decided to sack the guy and already announced the next coach all within a day.
