Real Madrid boss Julen Lopetegui reveals his managerial future doesn’t concern him despite all the reports suggesting his future is up in the air.
Madrid were shell shocked by La Liga minnows Alaves as Lopetegui’s side conceded a very late goal to pile more misery on the gaffer.
Lopetegui fielded a pretty powerful side with the likes of Thibaut Courtois and Luka Modric returning to the starting lineup but couldn’t avert their second loss in the last three matches.
On the back of a shocking 1-0 loss at the hand of CSKA Moscow, Los Blancos were supposed to fire all guns blazing against Alaves but their opposition stood tall to deny them from scoring.
Lopetegui said, “It’s not something I’m concerned about, that’s your job and I’m sure you’ll do it.
I have to be outside that. We are in October. We have to remain calm from the inside in light of this negative situation.
“The message (to the supporters) is that this team have been working like beasts for the last three months and they will get back to winning ways.
He went on to add, “Karim and Gareth had injuries, so we had to make decisions regarding changes. That’s football, that’s the way it goes, and today all the negatives came out.
“This run without key players isn’t normal. It’s also hugely important that we start scoring goals, and we will do that. The coach is always responsible.
“We have the international break now, so we can get back to what we’re doing.”
