S. Ramosas on the possible arrival of A. Conte: "Respect is earned, not given to someone"

After a crushing defeat in the "El Clasico" duel, the Spanish media no longer doubts that Madrid's "Real" will have a new coach.

According to reports, it is only a matter of time before Julen Lopetegui is relieved of his duties as head coach. The "Whites" have already found a replacement for him - experienced Antonio Conte.

Team captain Sergio Ramos, when asked about possible changes in the coaching staff, responded somewhat ambiguously.

"Respect is earned, not given to someone (referring to management)," the defender said. "It doesn't matter at all what your name is."

"We have won many titles with coaches that you know very well. Tactical knowledge is not always more important than the atmosphere in the team dressing room."

Asked to comment on the situation of J. Lopetegui, S. Ramos said: "I have always said that there are decisions that are made without our knowledge. We are with the coach until death, but we don't know what will happen in the next few hours."

After the defeat in Barcelona, "Real" occupies an unusual 9th place in the tournament table.
