Madrid don’t care who they step on to get their own way, even when it’s their own country.

Not their fault, they're entitled to look after their affairs.

This. No reason he had to be sacked.
That said the squad hast a lot of Barca and Madrid players in it so they'd be used to manager upheaval. Shouldn't affect them as much as it would other nations.
 
Bet there's Barca influence involved. Don't want the coach having first hand access and viability on their players.

Really? Other managers have gone to tournaments with club jobs hanging over them haven't they? LvG with United, Conte at Euros with Chelsea off the top of my head.

they havent had their club president call up their respective fa's 5 mins before the announcement of him as manager, and for lopetegui to reportedly only tell the fa himself the next day at training. for it to have been done and announced while the team was in russia just a few days before the first game was absolutely stupid.

madrid didn't have to make the announcement until spain's participation was done with.

I thought we signed LvG after the tournament.

Tend to agree. Lopetegui said it was "the saddest day of his life" but hard to feel sorry for the bloke given he signed a new contract just last month (granted the RM job probably wasn't available when he signed the deal); and really should have been fully focused on the WC campaign (and not entertaining negotiations that take his focus and attention elsewhere in the last few days before the tournament started) given that is his foremost duty as a national team manager.
