Julen Lopetegui has been relieved of his duties as head coach of Spain – barely two days before their opening match at the 2018 World Cup. Lopetegui’s sensational sack will definitely have a negative if not chaotic consequence on Spain’s World Cup preparations and participation.
Details are scanty,but this development may not be unconnected with Lopetegui’s recent appointment to replace Zinedine Zidane at Real Madrid.
