The Beginning Of A New End: Julen Lopetegui Argote

If you spent all your time talking about managers and WAGS because the quality of the actual football you had image rights to was as exciting as watching paint dry you'd being saying something similar just out of habit. Lol

 

I watch them when I need an ego boost. They make me realize I do know a bit about football and have at least 2 brain cells still functioning upstairs.

 

Is he still with the NT? If yes, Rub will sack him tomorrow.

Pablo Sanz Iniesta (44) will be Julen Lopetegui's assistant coach come next season. He was the right-hand man during their time with the National Team.

El Pais: Conte was a candidate before Lopetegui for the Real Madrid manager position. Ramos spoke to the Spanish players at Chelsea & the feedback was negative which he reported back to Florentino, who listened to his captain & opted against the move.

Ramos for President of the club after Perez

 

lol it appears he's already a vice-president of sorts

 

Isco: "With Lopetegui, he is a coach who I have known for many years and we have met throughout the youth groups of the national team. He has place great faith in me and given me a lot of confidence. He's a great coach."

I hope he knows there are no more excuses. He must produce and do so consistently.

 

Yea. This quote from ZZ after Isco's comments post Argentina friendly says it all. He needs to be consistent in club football.

Zidane: "Isco? Spain have 8 games a year, Madrid have over 60..."

Julen Lopetegui will earn €6 million per season on a 3-year contract. He will earn double what he received with the National Team. [@elconfidencial] pic.twitter.com/WyAd9Ogje1

Apparently earning less than Emery, Tuchel etc still.

Pep - 22 ME
Mou - 18 ME
Simeone - 14 ME
Valverde - 12 ME
Klopp - 11 ME
Emery, Allegri, Tuchel - 8 ME

What a stupid thing to say after you have been coached by Zizou for a couple of years.

 

What's the message then, that even if Lopetegui wins nothing in five years at the club he's better than Zidane, Ancellotti, etc.

 

I understand, but he still made the comparison and proclaimed him the best, better than Zizou.

 

He had probably had Lopetegui as a coach longer than he had Zidane and at more impressionable times as well, while he was in the Spanish youth national teams. So I don’t think he’s taking a shot at Zidane, but crediting Lopetegui to some degree with his development. No need to look for the scandal in everything, although we know that’s what you’re here for...

 

LOL. Ok. Carvajal has been coached by a few of the all time great coaches including Del Bosque, Carlo, and Zidane. (Mou?).

Of course he is entitle to his opinion, and should support his new coach, but I think he's gone a little overboard and certainly don't think anyone is buying that Lopetegui is better than any of the above.

Think of guys like Pellegrini and Juande Ramos, who have won more at club level than Julien, nobody doubts they are "good" coaches, but they didn't make it here for whatever reasons.

 

I think it depends on a lot of factors. I don’t think his comment was in any way his ranking of who he thinks the best overall coach is, probably just the coach that has contributed the most to his development or made him feel the most confident or effective.

Who's replacing him?

 

I don't think you can really tell someone else who their favourite people to work with are. That's not how it works.
