This week just keeps getting worse for Real Madrid. Following two crushing defeats to FC Barcelona in the Copa del Rey and LaLiga, then being eliminated by Ajax in the Champions League, it's a former coach who is casting a shadow over the club. Julen Lopetegui, who was sacked earlier in the season, has demanded the full three years of his contract be paid: all 28 million euros of it.
According to the 'El Transistor' radio show, the move which divided a nation when Florentino Perez poached Spain's national coach on the eve of the World Cup, could be set to hit the president in his pocket.
Lopetegui is willing to take the matter to the courts in order to receive his full payment. In an interview Lopetegui held with 'El Partidazo' recently, he claimed not to hold anything against his former club but admitted Perez hadn't even spoken to him in person about losing his job.

Looks like I want to become a manager. I will just sign a 4 year deal and get sacked in three weeks. No wonder mourinho is so rich.

Good man. A contract is a contract. RM can afford it. Sue for full compensation. The Perez should be sacked for appointing him in the first place .

He has the right and why wont he. Its not his problem Madrid are not f****** investing in players. No freaking manager can handle the team. Solari was good but to an extent as we can see that now. How many people are madrid gonna sack?? Sack that Perez thats enough than sacking hundred people more. Madrid's team needs to be rebuilded. Of course being dependent on Bale instead of Ronaldo is the result

ππππππ Sue them after making a huge mess ππππππ. Pathetic but if it is legitimate milk it. After all, Perez should have gone for someone far better but chose you π€π€π€.
