In a shocking state of affairs, Julen Lopetegui has been officially sacked by the Spanish national football team, a day after he was appointed as the new Real Madrid manager after Zinedine Zidane’s departure. In his stead, they have appointed 50 year old Fernando Hierro as the new manager who was previously the RFEF’s Sporting Director.

Spain will play their first World Cup match on Friday, June 16 against Portugal at 23:30 IST.

Now, let’s take a look at what the Twitterati had to say:
