Real Betis Considering Julen Lopetegui
Real Betis are considering former Real Madrid Julen Lopetegui to take over as boss for Quique Setien.
According to several reports, the Seville side have already made an initial contact with the 52-year-old manager.
Meanwhile, Lopetegui has been out of work since being dismissed by Real Madrid last October.
His sacking came right after losing to Barcelona 5-1 and leaving the team in ninth place.
However, his appointment at the European champions came under much scrutiny.
The former goalkeeper was under contract with Spain international side when he agreed to take over at Real Madrid for Zinedine Zidane, who left unexpectedly after winning his third Champions.
He was then given the boot by the Spain international side and started working with Real Madrid from that point on, missing out on the World Cup.
Earlier in the month, Mundo Deportivo indicated that he would also be taking over for Niko Kovac at Bayern Munich.
However, with Kovac coming from behind and winning the Bundesliga title, he will likely stay with the club another year.
Nevertheless, Real Betis is also considering Avelardo who left Alaves this week.
