What has to be done is done – Real Madrid sacked manager Julen Lopetegui after four months and just 14 games in charge. The sequence of horrendous results was emphasized by recent humiliating 5:1 defeat to Barcelona, forcing club’s board to make an instant response.
The official statement, issued on Monday night, confirms the dismissal of man, who’s arrival on the eve of 2018 World Cup became a scandal of entire Spanish football:
The board of directors […] have agreed to terminate the contract that linked coach Julen Lopetegui with the club. This decision, adopted from the highest level of responsibility, aims to change the dynamics of the first team, when all the objectives of this season are still achievable.
Full body of a communicado oficial also refers to the ‘grand discordance between quality of the squad and the obtained results’, which is fair – currently Los Blancos stuck at the 9th spot of Primera table, with just 4 wins in 10 games, which is one of 2 worst-ever season starts in club’s entire existence.
With Antonio Conte is expected to Real Madrid’s new manager within 48 hours, Castilla coach Santiago Solari is assigned as team’s interim manager.
He is not fit to handle a club like real Madrid
