Spain Manager sacked 1 day before World Cup

[Andy Dale]

It should not have been released by Real.
The Barca players have huge sway in the Spanish dressing room.
Real trying to grab the limelight ahead of the world cup has no doubt split that room.
Wish I'd not put £20 on them to win the thing now.

He's definitely made a rod for his own back. If Spain don't win it he's going to take the blame for interfering.

Along side Perez, who isn’t a popular figure already (not even with some madridistas in general, and a contingent after the Lopetegui appointment).

Perez has 4 CLs in 5 years to fall back on.

What's 'appy 'arry up to these days? Bet he would like an opportunity to win a pot, eh guvnah?

Ha.

At least we'll finally find out if managers really matter at an international level. It's not like they can coach the players that much.

Wow. Players tried to save him

Should have done the same to Pearce when that twat took the under21 job

I can confirm from Steve Staunton's time as ROI manager that they really do make a difference.

Believe it or not, there are still Real supporters that do not like him (or the appointment of Lopetegui), but I was mostly referring to Spain supporters in general.

I reckon the best thing he could do is move forward the next election.
