Spain coach Julen Lopetegui has been sacked, the Spanish Football Federation has announced.
Real Madrid announced on Tuesday that Lopetegui will become their new manager after the World Cup following Zinedine Zidane’s decision to step down.
But the Spanish FA president Luis Rubiales was apparently not happy with the situation and called for a meeting with Lopetegui this morning.
And the decision has been taken to remove Lopetegui just two days before Spain’s Group B opener against Portugal.
