In addition, Yamal was able to represent the Spanish national team at the age of 16 and also participated in the European Championship at the same age, while Messi and Ronaldo were not able to represent the national team at that age.
In addition, Messi and Ronaldo did not achieve international success with the national team until they were around 30 years old, while Yamal won the European Championship at the age of 16 and was also part of the best team of the tournament.
In addition, Yamal is close to winning the treble with Barcelona this season and is likely to achieve success as a key player for the team.
Being nominated for the Ballon d’Or at this age is also something that Messi and Ronaldo have not been able to do.
Former Spain, Real Madrid and West Ham United manager Lopetegui has been appointed as Qatar’s national team manager on a contract until 2027.
Lopetegui, 58, has also managed Porto, Sevilla and Wolves, and won the Europa League with Sevilla.
Lopetegui was appointed West Ham manager on a two-year contract in the summer of 2024, but was sacked in January.
Now, the Qatar Football Association has appointed him as the new national team manager.
The Qatar Football Association has been appointing Spanish coaches as national team managers in recent years, making Lopetegui the third Spanish coach to be appointed in the last two years.
Regarding the appointment of Lopetegui, the Qatar Football Association said in a statement: “Spanish coach Lopetegui has been officially appointed as the new coach of the Qatar national team on a contract until 2027. Lopetegui will start his role as coach of the Qatar national team in the remaining 2026 World Cup qualifiers, with the home match against Iran being his first match.”
Qatar’s national team will no longer have a chance to qualify directly for the 2026 World Cup and will only be looking to qualify for the fourth round.
The Qatar Football Association said Lopetegui’s appointment was aimed primarily at the 2027 Asian Cup.
