The Basque tactician has just led Sevilla FC to Europe League success, but did you know these five facts about him?

1. Julen Lopetegui played for both FC Barcelona and Real Madrid
Julen Lopetegui was a goalkeeper during his playing days. After coming through the Real Sociedad academy, he departed in search of minutes and went on to make 317 appearances between Spain’s top two divisions. While he spent most of his career at Rayo Vallecano and Logroñés, Lopetegui also became one of the rare players to represent both FC Barcelona and Real Madrid. He only played 10 times for FC Barcelona and once for Real Madrid, though.
