SKOR.id - Gagal lolos langsung via putaran ketiga Kualifikasi Piala Dunia 2026 zona Asia, Timnas Qatar sigap melakukan pergantian di bangku pelatih.

Tak tanggung-tanggung, juara Piala Asia 2023 itu merangkul mantan juru taktik Timnas Spanyol dan Real Madrid, Julen Lopetegui.

Pria kelahiran Asteasu, Spanyol, itu diplot mengisi jabatan yang ditinggalkan kompatriotnya, Luis Garcia.

"Julen Lopetegui akan menjadi pelatih baru Timnas Qatar. Dia akan memimpin tim mengarungi sisa pertandingan Kualifikasi Piala Dunia 2026," tulis pernyataan resmi Federasi Sepak Bola Qatar (QFA), Kamis (1/5/2025).

Timnas Qatar tampil kurang maksimal selama putaran ketiga Kualifikasi Piala Dunia 2026 zona Asia, tercecer di peringkat keempat Grup A.

Kekalahan 1-3 dari Kirgizstan, akhir Maret lalu, mengubur harapan mereka finis dua besar sekaligus lolos langsung ke putaran final.

Kedatangan Julen Lopetegui adalah untuk memperbaiki situasi ini. Pelatih yang membawa Sevilla juara Liga Europa 2019-2020 tersebut diharapkan bisa membawa Qatar bangkit pada dua laga sisa Grup A, kemudian berjuang lagi di putaran keempat.

Timnas Qatar masih akan menghadapi Iran dan Uzbekistan, Juni mendatang, cukup untuk mengukur kualitas tim.

Julen Lopetegui dipercaya QFA karena memiliki rekam jejak cukup bagus di kancah sepak bola dunia.

Pada awal kariernya, mantan penjaga gawang itu mampu membawa skuad muda Spanyol juara Euro U-19 2012 dan Euro U-21 2013. Lima tahun berselang, dia meloloskan Timnas Spanyol ke Piala Dunia 2018.

Adapun di level klub, Lopetegui memulai dari Rayo Vallecano, kemudian sempat menangani FC Porto, Real Madrid, Sevilla, Wolverhampton Wanderers, hingga West Ham United.

Pengalaman pelatih 58 tahun itu diyakini bisa menginspirasi skuad The Maroons.

Menariknya, ada peluang Timnas Qatar asuhan Julen Lopetegui berjumpa Timnas Indonesia di putaran keempat Kualifikasi Piala Dunia 2026 zona Asia.

Pasukan Garuda memang masih berhasrat lolos langsung via jalur runner-up, namun peluangnya sangat berat. Mereka harus menyapu dua laga sisa dengan kemenangan, sembari mengharapkan Australia gagal menambah poin.

Paling realistis, Timnas Indonesia finis di peringkat ketiga atau keempat lalu berjuang lagi di putaran berikutnya.

Pada putaran keempat, ada dua tiket Piala Dunia 2026 yang diperebutkan - satu untuk masing-masing juara grup. Qatar bisa saja menjadi rival Garuda.
