Hierro is well-respected. His career as a manager is an anecdote, though, so not sure this is the best way to go. nah I know, it's just funny that the reason the announcement was made was to avoid it leaking.. and the reason it may have leaked is due to apparent "unrest" in the squad. We can only guess why they'd be uneasy but it surely has something to do with barca/real politics.. then they go appoint ex Real player instead

The whole shock and "unrest" in the squad which forced the announement was from the non Real players apparently.. so Spain go and appoint ex Real captain Hierro instead

He just signed a new contract with Spain. They'll either implode or win it. Please make Ramos and Pique co managers "Spain have named Under 21 boss Albert Celades as Julen Lopetegui's replacement following the new Real Madrid boss' sacking." from Spaniards on reddit- "Absolute tit." "The coach who underachieved with our golden U21 team last year" "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO" "His biggest achievement so far was not qualifying to the Euro U21 in 2015 with a team that had Isco, Saúl, Morata, Sergi Roberto, Kepa, Muniain, Munir, Deulofeu..." "He's like a guy who lied on his CV, but got the job regardles and now he just goes with the flow." sounds good

This I agree with, the FA said they only got told 5 mins before the announcement ffs Would expect him to at least tell them, no wonder they were annoyed. Still don't think sacking him helps in any way though

Spanish club sabotaging their own national team. Pretty extraordinary stuff man It was gonna leak man. What else do you expect them to do? Let it leak during the world cup then come out and say "yeah might have forgot to mention we signed him before the WC"

48 teams? Can't wait for Canada v Armenia opening game

Final in LA then? 3pm kick off there will still be 11pm in the UK Midnight/1am for the rest of europe

USA/Mexico/Canada wins

members of the squad (apparently unhappy for some reason) found out. It would have leaked anyway, they had no choice.. other than to sort it out ater the WC and go another month without a manager

Don't see what choice they were left with, can't remember a time in history when a manager announces he's leaving in the middle of the season or tournament and it doesn't end really badly. The only stupidity here is the manager announcing he's leaving right before the tournament when that's the only thing he should be focused on. he didnt though

Buzzing when a Sergio Ramos managed & captained Spain win the world cup, knocking Egypt out on the way

why? "alright m8? you've got 1 day to get us ready for the world cup"

Is there any point getting a new manager? What they gonna be able to do in 24 hours. Ramos player/manager for maximum laughs

Nice, Wenger in

voting about to happen

2026 WC host voting about to happen here

New Real manager getting a month with de Gea? Bet Man Utd are buzzing

A non Madrid player found out and they figured it was gonna get leaked anyway. The werent planning on announcing it until after the WC apparently. Bet it was Pique, massive shit stirrer

Lopetegui now possibly going to be sacked from the Spain job scenes when they hire Wenger 24 hrs before the world cup and he wins it that or Rafa

Reports in Spain that Lopetegui is about to be sacked https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/world-cup/world-cup-2018-spain-replace-julen-loptegui-manager-real-madrid-betrayal-sacked-latest-a8396371.html

The fun88 is way too dark on the black and white ffs how people still don't understand that the whole point of paying for that space is to be seen, I don't know

Bye Bale. The dude loves Isco 4-3-3 will be back though, shame we wouldnt get one last hurrah from the BBC. Or maybe we will, fuck knas tbh
