Jorge Valdano, former player, coach and director of football at Real Madrid, analyzed in his role as a commentator on Movistar + the possible candidates for the Real Madrid bench for next season. Everything indicates that not winning any title will prevent Alvaro Arbeloa from continuing as coach of the white team, which forces a new coach to be signed.
The Argentine summed up what he thought of each of the options that are rumored to coach Real Madrid, and in some cases his verdict was blunt:
Deschamps
“Deschamps may be the right choice because here are Tchouameni and Camavinga, and it is appropriate that someone comes who can make use of them. And there is Mbappe, let’s not forget. We are dealing with a World Cup-winning coach.”
Pochettino
“Pochettino was twice close to Real Madrid, and finally it did not happen. If he was twice close, he is a name that attracts the club, Florentino.”
Mourinho
“It’s a page from the past.”
Klopp
“Klopp needs a year to make a team, especially to give it the physical intensity it needs for his game to crystallise, and asking for a year seems excessive, impossible.”
Scaloni
“We will see what the World Cup leaves us with, he has no experience in clubs. To have the first experience at Real Madrid seems adventurous to me. As for his quality as a coach is indisputable, he made a national team world champion from his status as a novice coach.”
