[QUOTE="unrated, post: 907216, member: 45773"] Spain has done very well under their coach Julen Lopetegui. They had a good run at the qualifiers. I don't think they have even lost one game in the last two years! Then it is announced two days before the world cup that after the tournament he would be taking the vacant Real Madrid post. Spain felt betrayed and has now fired their coach one day before the world cup. Serves him right though. He was a national team manager of one of the best sides in the game, he should have had immense pride in leading such a talented team to the world cup. That should have been his main priority, after the world cup he can do what he wants, but then he sabotages the Spanish training in a way by drawing attention away from the national team. Not to mention that it would have caused rifts between the Madrid and Barca players in the squad. Maybe this also explains the omission of Sergi Roberto! Is it too late for him to be called up? Spains chances to win this have suddenly dropped dramatically. Some sides prepare for the world cup for years, now their new coach will have to overcome jet lag to Russia before he even has one training session. The favourites to replace him are Luis Enrique and Arsene Wenger. But don't count out Pep Guardiola to fill in just for the World Cup. [/QUOTE]
