Real shouldn't have announced it before the World Cup, that just gave ammo to their haters.
It's the lack of trust that makes the Spanish FA's decision understandable.
Manager announces a move before the biggest tournament, doesn't tell the employers about it before speaking to the press, having just signed an extension a month ago.
It's not perfect but RM and Lopetegui should have handled it better.
Players are different to the national manager because although they're paid, it's not an employment as it would be for their club. It's expected that they might transfer in the summer as club/international duties don't conflict for them, but the national manager should be prioritising the national team over everything else. Especially in a WC year/month/days before the tourney.
