Lopetegui hopes for Man Utd call as Milan decision leaves him in disbelief – report | OneFootball

According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Milan‘s decision to drop Julen Lopetegui left the Spanish coach in disbelief, but the 57-year-old now hopes to resume talks with Manchester United.

Milan have decided against hiring Lopetegui in the summer, leaving the Spanish coach ‘shocked’ and ‘in disbelief,’ reports La Gazzetta dello Sport.

According to the report, Lopetegui was already studying the Milan squad ahead of the summer transfer window and was particularly disappointed to learn that the Rossoneri apparently based their decision on fans’ protests on social media.

Several Rossoneri fans used the hashtag #Nopetegui to protest against the Spaniard’s possible appointment and even started a petition to block it. The pink paper, however, claims that Lopetegui could soon be offered the chance to coach another elite European club.

Manchester United were in talks with his entourage a few months ago, and the Red Devils have now reignited their interest, as reported in Friday’s printed edition on page 20.
