After thinking about 20 names in the list finally the committee led by Real Madrid, President Florentino Perez marked a tick on the name of Julen which was not even in the so-called-list. Julen is offered to be the boss of Bernabeu until Euro 2022. Julen as a player played for both Spanish giants; Madrid and Barcelona as a goalkeeper. Later on, he began his second innings as a coach with Rayo Vallecano and continued his streak with Spain’s U19, 20, 21 to win the European title of that year. The Spanish federation tagged this deal as a betrayal to the nation so they sacked Julen Lopetegui as their national just before their first World Cup match against Portugal.
