Julen Lopetegui, former coach of FC Porto and currently the coach of Qatar, described the situation in the country following Iran's reprisals against Gulf states hosting U.S. military bases, in response to bombings by the United States and Israel.
Despite the danger, the Spanish coach assured in an interview with RTVE that the attacks occur far from the area where he lives. Even so, he informed that, as a precaution, the authorities are urging the population to stay at home.
“The message they convey to us is one of caution, to not leave the house, to be aware of moments when we might see missiles hitting areas that are far from us. We are confined in the safest way at home. I want to tell family and friends that we are all well and well taken care of. We wish to return to normalcy as soon as possible,” he stated.
