Julen Lopetegui will embark on a new stage in his coaching career by taking over the helm of the Qatar national team, with a two-year commitment aiming towards the next World Cup, as reported by Relevo. The Basque coach, who had been without a team for several months after leaving West Ham, is now taking on an international project where his experience is expected to contribute to the growth of football in the Gulf region.

The official announcement will be made this Thursday, and everything indicates that the former coach of the Spanish national team will take the reins of the Qatari squad once the main European competitions conclude, using the FIFA break to start working with his new players. With this move, Qatar once again opts for a coach with a background in top-level football and training in the youth categories of Spanish football, a model that has already produced positive results in the past.

A new challenge for Julen Lopetegui

Lopetegui, who also managed Real Madrid and Sevilla in recent stages, returns to a national team setting, where he had already proven his worth by qualifying Spain for the 2018 World Cup before his abrupt departure. In Qatar, he will encounter a different environment characterized by significant investment in infrastructure and development, with the ambition to enhance their international competition performance.

The Qatari Federation is confident that Lopetegui's arrival will provide a competitive boost to the team for upcoming challenges, especially in the World Cup qualifiers. The Spanish coach, on his part, faces the challenge of establishing a new cycle in an emerging scenario within global football.

Currently, Qatar sits in fourth place in Group A of the Asia Qualifiers, with the chance to advance to the second round and continue contending for a spot in the 2026 World Cup.
