Can’t do them any good in their World Cup bid. Seemingly for taking the Real Madrid job without telling them.

Sometimes you’ve got to stick to your guns.
Spain FA might reasonably expect their most important employee to be focusing on the job at hand, not negotiating his next job.
RM no doubt well aware that such business should have been put on hold but went ahead anyway, in their typically arrogant manner.
Of course I imagine the RM players in the Spain squad will be towing the party line!

What a rat. He knew his position would be untenable just before the World Cup starts so he announces it now
without giving a damn for his erstwhile players. Real have recruited a turkey.

Seems an incredibly self destructive decision.

This is it for me. He's been negotiating behind the backs of his Country's FA, and has made himself look silly.
I hope the Spanish Team do well without him

The players agreed. There was no way he was getting to carry on. It’s normal for senior management to be put on garden leave if they are moving to a competitor. Barca and Atletico both felt this was the same.

Couldn't he have waited until after the World Cup before making a decision on his future? I'm sure his stock would still be high, so it's not as if he'd lose out on getting a top role.
This kinda makes me think of Bale's rant immediately after the Champion's League win. He could have just decided to say how pleased he was for the team and fans and what a great moment it was, but chose to make the interview all about him and basically threw his toys out the pram.
Bunch of self centered prima-donnas.

What if pique is in the ‘red zone’ for an injury and really should be rested for a game or risk a long term injury? Do Barca want the Madrid coach making that call when it’s in his interests that the player gets injured?

They are all (including the coach) representing Spain at a one-off tournament. Nothing to do with Barca and Madrid.

This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show QuoteThe story the media seem to be running with is the senior players advised they wanted the coach to remain in place. I find that more believable.
Of course, it is possible that both could be true.

He's the only manager I can think off who started out his career as a Goalkeeper..! It would make a good pub quiz question!
