Real Madrid boss pleads for more time
Real Madrid boos Julen Lopetegui has insisted that he should not be judged until the end of his first season at Real Madrid, amid reports that his job is under major threat.
The 52-year-old has seen his side go three matches without a win or a goal in La Liga and the Champions League.
Tuesday evening’s shock 1-0 loss to CSKA Moscow followed fresh on the back of a 3-0 reverse at Sevilla and a goalless draw against Atletico Madrid and lately the 1-0 loss to Alaves has piled the pressure on the Madrid boss.
“We don’t analyse what people might think,” he told reporters when asked about the press reports regarding his uncertain future. “We are working every day on trying to improve. The club’s objectives are still intact and nothing more.

“You have to respect all opinions but it’s logical that at a club like Real Madrid you are always under heavy examination. But we will be judged by what we achieve by the end of the season.”
Los Blancos recruited ex-Spain boss Lopetegui as Zinedine Zidane’s replacement during the summer.
