Following this decision, a whole host of football fans have taken to social media to call for the former world and European champions to appoint Arsene Wenger as Lopetegui’s successor.
It wouldn’t be a bad shout as Wenger for next Spain manager, as the Frenchman knows what it takes to succeed at the highest level of football, as the former Gunners boss won nearly everything there was to win during his time in charge of the north London club.
Here are a few select tweets from fans calling for Wenger to be appointed as Spain’s new manager. What do you think? Do you think Wenger should be given a chance by La Roja? Let us know below.
Arsene Wenger for the Spain job, if you ask me.
