Real Madrid are looking to replace Santiago Solari after Los Blancos were knocked out of the Copa del Rey and the Champions League in a week’s time.
On March 6th, we relayed news from Spain that Mauricio Pochettino has been identified as one of the main candidates to replace his compatriot at the Santiago Bernabeu and the Tottenham Hotspur manager ‘will not hesitate’ to join the La Liga giants, if they come calling.
Thursday’s edition of Mundo Deportivo looks at the former Southampton coach and other potential candidates to become the next manager of the 13-time European champions.
It is explained that current Spurs boss is the ‘big favourite’ for Real Madrid, but they are aware that any negotiations with Tottenham and their chairman Daniel Levy will not be easy, especially given Pochettino has four years left on his contract.
Losing Pochettino in the summer will be a big blow for Tottenham, considering the work he’s done at the north London club on a tight budget.
Mundo also reports that Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp, Massimiliano Allegri of Juventus and even their former manager Zinedine Zidane are also on the list for Real Madrid president Florentino Perez.
