Revealed: Varane's nice gesture towards Lopetegui after his Real Madrid dismissal

Revealed: Varane's nice gesture towards Lopetegui after his Real Madrid dismissal

It happened a few days after Julen Lopetegui was fired from Real Madrid. Raphael Varane picked up the phone and called the coach to inquire about his mood and, above all, to apologize for his poor performances at the start of the season, according to Marca. The Frenchman started the campaign very far from his best version and committed several errors against various opponents.

This frustrated the Frenchman. So, once the dismissal of Lopetegui was official, the player called to apologize to the former Spain coach. Varane assured him that he gave everything on the field but admitted that he was not at his top after the World Cup and felt that some of his errors could have cost Lopetegui his position.

Lopetegui's reaction was one of total gratitude for the call and for the attitude shown by Varane on a day-to-day basis. The former Real coach was moved by the gesture of the footballer, one of the most beautiful that the players showed him after his departure, with some saying goodbye on social media and some personally.
