The former head coach of Wolverhampton refused to return to work in the English Premier League.
According to journalist Nikola Skira, Crystal Palace was in talks with the 57-year-old to replace the experienced Roy Hodgson during the season. The Spaniard has agreed to take over the team and is waiting for an offer from a bigger club.
Interestingly, in recent weeks, Lopetegui has rejected another offer from an unnamed club from Saudi Arabia.
