According to the Spanish press, Julen Lopetegui is best placed to take over from Ten Hag.
“Almost doomed” is the description of Erik ten Hag’s status at Manchester United. The Dutch manager has struggled at Old Trafford and, after finishing last in their Champions League group, appears to be on a faulty ejection seat.
A former Real Madrid man to the rescue
In Spain, Relevo believes that former Real Madrid, Spain and Sevilla FC coach Julen Lopetegui is best placed to take over at Ten Hag. He has distanced himself from Napoli and Saudi Arabia as he wants to return to the Premier League. In fact, the supply from the Middle East was estimated at 18 million euros per year.
United want him to be replaced by someone who knows the competition, has experience in Europe and knows the language. An experienced coach, Lopetegui has already worked with Casemiro, Raphaël Varane and Sergio Reguilon.
This would be Lopetegui’s third attempt at a top job. The Basque coach made his name at Sevilla, but before that he served as Spain coach, where he was never able to participate in a major tournament due to a disagreement with Luis Rubiales . He had agreed to move to Real Madrid after the 2018 World Cup, and was fired.
