Two World Cup-winning managers on Real Madrid’s shortlist for the summer – report
Real Madrid could be staring at a sea of changes in the upcoming summer after another campaign that is likely to end without any trophies.
Indeed, after crashing out of the UEFA Champions League against Bayern Munich, the Merengues are alive only in La Liga, where they are already nine points behind leaders Barcelona.
So, unless something drastic happens in the remaining seven matches, the league title also seems out of reach. This could mean the end of manager Alvaro Arbeloa’s tenure, despite him having the support of the locker room.
Lionel Scaloni, Didier Deschamps on the shortlist
And, according to El Mundo, Real Madrid have identified two World Cup-winning managers as potential targets for the summer.
Indeed, Los Blancos are looking at current France manager Didier Deschamps and Argentina boss Lionel Scaloni as candidates for the hot seat at the Santiago Bernabeu.
