Real Madrid have appointed Spain manager Julen Lopetegui as their new head coach on a three-year deal.
The 51-year-old will take up the position after the World Cup, which begins on 14 June.
In a brief statement to announce the appointment, the Madrid giants said Lopetegui had been appointed on a three-year contract.
Lopetegui is currently in Russia preparing the Spanish squad for the World Cup.
