Julen Lopetegui returns to the forefront of international football. This Thursday, the Qatar Football Federation officially announced the appointment of the Spanish coach as the new national team coach, replacing Luis García Plaza. In this way, the former coach of Sevilla and Wolverhampton returns to the realm of national teams after his time with the Spanish national team, where he played an important role before the 2018 World Cup.

Petrodollars Have Taken Him Away from the Premier League

Lopetegui's contract with the Qatari team will be for two seasons, with a strong intention to lead the project towards the 2026 World Cup. His debut is scheduled for June 5th against Iran, and days later, he will visit Uzbekistan to close the qualifying phase. Currently, Qatar is in a challenging position, in fourth place in the group with scarce chances of direct qualification, although their presence in the Asian playoffs is practically assured.

Lopetegui has been enticed by the opportunity to return to managing a national team, a facet he knows well and which allows him to work on medium and long-term planning. Qatar, which managed to win the Asian Cup in 2019 and 2023, now dreams of being present at a World Cup again, this time through sporting merit.
