    Turmoil in the Spanish national team: coach fired

    “We have been forced to dispense of the national coach,” Rubiales said. “You can't do things this way, two or three days before the World Cup”

    The Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) sacked head coach Julen Lopetegui two days before Spain’s opening match in the World Cup against Portugal. One day earlier Lopetegui agreed to succeed Zinedine Zidane as the new Real Madrid boss after the World Cup. This decision was made without the knowledge of RFEF.
