Real Madrid boss Julen Lopetegui says Ronaldo is the player he wants

Julen Lopetegui told reporters at his presentation as Real Madrid manager at the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu on Thursday (14th June), that Cristiano Ronaldo is a player he “always wants at his side” at Los Blancos. Lopetegui was fired by Spanish football federation president Luis Rubiales on Wednesday - a day after Madrid made the unexpected announcement that Lopetegui had agreed to leave the national team for European champion Madrid after the World Cup in Russia. Rubiales said Madrid and Lopetegui kept him in the dark until five minutes before the club made the deal public. (Video: SNTV)
