Real Madrid have made an enquiry for World Cup-winning manager

Real Madrid are going through a period of tumult after yet another season without any major trophies, with some notable changes expected in the coming weeks.

It will start with the appointment of a new manager to take over from Alvaro Arbeloa, with several names being considered by the club hierarchy.

Prominent figures such as Jurgen Klopp and Jose Mourinho are heavily linked, along with some unexpected names, such as Argentina manager Lionel Scaloni.

Real Madrid have asked about Scaloni

Indeed, according to Rodra of ESPN, Real Madrid are indeed looking at Scaloni and have made enquiries about the 2022 World Cup-winning manager.

However, at the moment, there have been no negotiations between the Spanish capital club and the 47-year-old tactician.

The Argentine has never been in charge of a club, let alone one of the size of Real Madrid. His only experience at club-level was the assistant manager’s job he held at Sevilla in the 2016/17 season.

After that, Scaloni has been fully with the Argentina national team, initially working as the assistant manager before eventually taking over as the main man in charge a few months after the 2018 FIFA World Cup.
