Has anyone heard of JULEN LOPETEGUI the former Porto manager? He likes to play 433 and is out of a job atm, I know this sort of appointment would take brains in the boardroom (which we lack) but would anyone want him or be willing to give him a chance, it's just someone I came across on a site called transfermarkt you guys should check it out has all the info regarding football you could need. It's also very upto date.

Here are his credentials. Hardly what you'd expect from a manager with some success under his belt!

In 2003, Lopetegui was one of Spain coach Juan Santisteban's assistants at the UEFA European Under-17 Championship. After the tournament, he had his first head coaching spell at Rayo, with the club in the second level, being sacked after the tenth match of the 2003–04 campaign, which ended in relegation to division three; after working as a sports commentator, including for laSexta in the 2006 FIFA World Cup, he returned to coaching, with a side he represented in the 1980s, Real Madrid Castilla, now in the third tier.

From 2010 to 2014 Lopetegui worked with the Spanish youth teams, winning the 2012 European Under-19 Championship and the 2013 Under-21 Championship. [12] He left the Royal Spanish Football Federation on 30 April 2014, following the expiration of his contract.

On 6 May 2014 Lopetegui returned to club duties, being appointed at Portugal's FC Porto. [14] He signed seven Spanish players to the club that summer.

In his first season at the Estádio do Dragão, with the club's biggest budget ever, Lopetegui led them to the quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League, where they equalized the club's biggest defeat in European competitions (6–1 against AEK Athens FC) and suffered their biggest defeat in the competition (6–1 against FC Bayern Munich) . He failed to conquer any silverware, contributing to the biggest hiatus (two years) during Jorge Nuno Pinto da Costa's presidency.

On 8 January 2016, after a 1–3 home loss to C. S. Marítimo in the Taça da Liga, as Porto had already been eliminated from the Champions League and was ranked third in the domestic league after an away loss and a home draw, Lopetegui was relieved of his duties, being replaced by Rui Barros. One week later, the club announced that it had terminated the former's contract unilaterally.
