Real Madrid fires coach Lopetegui after big loss to Barca

MADRID (AP) — Real Madrid has fired coach Julen Lopetegui.
The announcement was made after a meeting by the club’s board of directors on Monday, a day after the team was crushed by Barcelona 5-1 at Camp Nou Stadium.
It was the team’s fifth loss in seven matches in all competitions.
The club says Santiago Solari, coach of Real Madrid B, will be in charge until a replacement to Lopetegui was hired.
