Julen Lopetegui faces Real madrid sack
Real Madrid manager Julen Lopetegui has been given an ultimatum to turn around his team fortune till the end of the month or he will be sacked. Real Madrid have suffered a disappointing 1-0 loss to Alaves on saturday evening to make it four matches without a win in all competitions, having lost to Servilla and CSKA Moscow in that run and draw with Atletico Madrid.
According to report,
Lopetegui is facing massive pressure in deciding his future at
the club, with El Clásico looming large at the end of the month. A loss
in that game could spell the end of his time at the Santiago Bernabeu,
regardless of the results against Levante and Viktoria Plzen in the
build-up.
The Spanish manager may have found himself under even more pressure were
it not for Barcelona's equally disappointing start to the season. Real
find themselves only one point behind Barca in the La Liga table.
Real Madrid President Florentino Perez is known for his lack of
patience with managers, and he has no problem making a change if he
feels the high standards of the club are falling.
He sacked Rafael Benitez in January of 2016 after only seven months
in charge, with the club four points behind city rivals Atletico in the
league table. Carlo Ancelotti was fired in May 2015, despite finishing
only two points behind Barcelona in La Liga and leading the club to
their first Champions League triumph in 12 years the season before.
