Lopetegui signed three-year deal with Real Madrid on Tuesday

Julen Lopetegui has been sacked as Spain boss just two days of their opening World Cup fixture.
The Spanish Football Federation made its announcement at around 11am on Wednesday ahead of a news conference at which president Luis Rubiales said: “We have been forced to dispense with the national coach. We wish him the greatest of luck.”

It was announced on Tuesday the 51-year-old, who was in charge of the national team for two years, had agreed a three-year contract at Real Madrid to replace Zinedine Zidane.
However, the decision angered the Spanish FA with Rubiales adding: “The negotiations have occurred without any information to the Spanish FA and we were informed just five minutes before the press release. There’s a way to act that needs to be fulfilled.”
According to Sky Sports’ Guillem Balague the players, including Real Madrid captain Sergio Ramos, did all they could to try and keep their head coach in his position.
