Fernando Hierro to manage Spain for World Cup

Fernando Hierro will manage Spain during the World Cup, the Spanish Football Federation has announced.

Fernando Hierro will lead Spain at the World Cup after head coach Julen Lopetegui was dramatically sacked on the eve of the tournament.

Spanish preparations were thrown into turmoil as Lopetegui lost his job following Tuesday’s announcement he would leave to take over at Real Madrid after the finals in Russia.
