Lopetegui sacked as Real Madrid coach, Solari put in temporary charge
Real Madrid have sacked their coach Julen Lopetegui, the club confirmed on Monday.
Lopetegui was appointed in June but five defeats in seven games, the last of them a 5-1 thrashing by Barcelona on Sunday, have convinced Madrid to make a change.
Santiago Solari, the club's B team coach, has been put in temporary charge.
