Former Real Madrid and Spain defender Ivan Campo says Julen Lopetegui should not be sacked despite the European champions' 5-1 defeat at Camp Nou by Barcelona on Sunday.
Goal understands Lopetegui is set to lose his job on Monday following Real’s fourth league defeat in five games, with the side languishing in ninth place in La Liga and seven points adrift of the top.
Some reports had suggested that the former Spain boss would be removed following last Saturday’s defeat at home to Levante, but a 2-1 win against Viktoria Plzen in the Champions League on Wednesday gave a stay of execution.
