Lopetegui enjoyed a long career as a goalkeeper before moving into management.
He took charge of Porto in 2014 before being appointed as Spain coach two years later, having previously managed the national team at Under-19, Under-20 and Under-21 levels.
A short stint as Real Madrid manager followed before a three-year spell with Sevilla, where he won the UEFA Europa League in 2019/20.
