Julen Lopetegui spoke about his continuity after the heavy defeat against Clásico against Barcelona.

In the event that the Basque successor does not arrive in time to lead the round of 16 of the Copa del Rey next Wednesday against Melilla of the second division B, the coach of Castilla, Santiago Solari, could play.

Lopetegui had been sentenced for weeks and only the calendar had saved him. From Valdevebas, it was revealed that Florentino Perez, president of Real Madrid, had decided to dismiss him after the 1-0 defeat against Alavés, the fourth consecutive game without a win, or even goal. He held off for the FIFA fixture and barely a week after the team had to travel to Barcelona in a match where everything would be played.

On the other hand, the council needed time to find a replacement for him.

A man willing to take the reins of a team that Zinedine Zidane had made three times in a row champion of Europe had been tough.

Sources have revealed to Manu Martin that Portuguese have announced Florentino Pérez that the Italian meets the profile of merengue.

The coach of Spain at the time was not the first nor the second option of the table. But time was running out, because a month after the beginning of the preseason, the "project" was still headless. His arrival was controversial. Almost bitter. In the Spanish Federation, the team had not dropped much as the coach was negotiating behind the coach who was about to lead a World Cup. They did not allow it. The cessation of Lopetegui allowed Madrid to save the two million euros stipulated in its termination clause. He did not know that he would end up regretting it.

Four months later, he is fired again. This time for a sporting reason.

The missed management of Lopetegui will be summed up in just six wins, two draws and six defeats in 14 run matches. A lost title, the European Supercup. The worst drought in the history of the merengue team after 481 minutes without seeing the door and a team remaining in the ninth position of the table with only 14 units; closer to the descent (six points) than the head (seven) in which Barcelona sits after the victory.
