Therefore, the Madrid boss will be in charge when the Los Blancos take on Levante in the La Liga as well as Czech outfit Viktoria Plzen in the UEFA Champions League before the trip to the Camp Nou.

The Los Merengues have failed to find the back of the net in 4 games and have lost three of their last 4 games, the latest being a defeat against Alaves.

The reports suggest that Lopetegui is more inspiring much confidence at the club, but will be allowed to take charge of the aforementioned games.
