Real Madrid announces the date of the announcement of the new coach

Real Madrid are in the midst of building their technical blueprint for next season following their disappointing Champions League exit at the hands of Bayern Munich, with a change of manager Alvaro Arbeloa all but decided despite the presence of some of his supporters in the corridors of the Royals.

The decision depends on the result of El Clasico

According to sources close to the club’s management, the official announcement of the new coach will only take place after the team has lost the mathematical chances of fighting for the Spanish league title, which could actually happen next Sunday if the Catalans fail to win against Barcelona in the stronghold.

The report suggests that the club completed most of the selection process in recent weeks and is confident of its ability to resolve the file quickly, given its extensive experience in dealing with the manager market, which is considered “less complicated” than the player market.

Mourinho tops the shortlist

The shortlist has been narrowed down significantly, with Portugal’s Jose Mourinho at the forefront, benefiting from his friendship with club president Florentino Perez from his previous spell in charge at Merengue.

Perez believes Mourinho’s tenure (2010-2013) laid the foundations on which the club’s subsequent success was built, making him the preferred choice in light of the current crisis the team is going through.

The dressing room crisis increases the chances of “Special”.

Voices for the Portuguese coach’s return have increased following a violent physical clash between two star midfielders, Aurelien Choumini and Federico Valverde, which ended with the Uruguayan being hospitalized.

Mourinho’s supporters believe his tough personality and long experience in crisis management make him best suited to restore discipline and stability to a dressing room suffering from severe tension, in addition to his deep knowledge of Royals’ secrets.

Pochettino and Deschamps are at the table

Although Mourinho is at the forefront of the field, Argentine Mauricio Pochettino remains a strong option as he is valued by Perez, but he does not generate the same public enthusiasm as his Portuguese counterpart.

Current France coach Didier Deschamps, who will step down after the next World Cup, is also being considered given his strong relationship with the French bloc within the team, in addition to his proven record as a player and coach.

The name of Lionel Scaloni, the champion of the world championship, appeared as part of the Argentine national team, but his lack of experience at the club level is an obstacle for his candidacy.

Zidane and Klopp are out

On the other hand, Zinedine Zidane, the most sought-after legend among the fans, seems to be waiting to take over the French national team after the 2026 World Cup, while Germany’s Jurgen Klopp was not a real option at any stage of the search.
