After the stir caused by the dismissal of Julen Lopetegui have begun to arise precedents of similar cases, and the most seemed did not finish with a dismissal but yes with failure of the Spanish selection. Kubala Signed with the Barça to few days of the Eurocopa 1980
They remain hardly two days for the start of the Spanish selection in the World-wide and all the planet football is conmocionado by the dismissal of Julen Lopetegui. The Real Spanish Federation of Football (RFEF) has explained that the negotiations with the Real Madrid were to his backs, and without hardly margin of reaction, has left to the team without direction. The most similar precedent did not have good end for the 'red'.
It was in 1980, also a short days of a Eurocopa, and with the FC Barcelona and Ladislao Kubala like protagonists. Although the case saves some resemblances, also there are remarkable differences, since the technician accumulated 11 years at the head of the team and the end of his cycle was near, ended it in some tensions with the president of the Federation, Pablo Carries.
The one of Budapest already had complained that anybody had spoken him to renew, when his agreement expired this same month. Shortly after, the Catalans announced that had an agreement so that it did charge of the first team, as it had occurred almost 20 years backwards. The news did not seat too well in the changing room, and the fracture did evident during the tournament.
Spain attained a meritorio tie in front of Italy, the hostess, but fell against Belgium and England and remained went to the first of change. Then, the selection did not split like favourite, but although now it is it, the doubts have left very 'touched' his candidature. It will be necessary to trust a reaction on the lawn.
Fernando Iron, solution of emergency for the Spanish selection
Julen Lopetegui has not been the only in announcing his exit before or during a big tournament, but the criticisms have arrived by the secretismo and the form to announce it. Others did it before that he but took care more his exit, procuring him more antelación or a more adapted climate for soltar an unexpected news.
For the moment, the certainty is that it will not be the one of Asteasu the one who take the reins of Spain in Russia, because already it has announced that Fernando Iron will be his temporary relief in the bench. The malagueño will abandon the sportive direction to be in the lawn, treating to continue with the course and the positive feelings that left his predecessor. Today it expects that the end was very distinct.
