Isco is delighted with the appointment of Julen Lopetegui as Real Madrid coach.
The midfielder could always count on Lopetegui's support when he was in charge of Spain.
Isco said, "Yes, he's a coach who I've known for many years; we worked together right the way up the Spain set-up.
"He's given me confidence when I haven't been enjoying a central role at my club, and he's a great coach."
