This time, it’s official: Real Madrid is out for another blank season. And if last season, the Merengue had changed things by winning the European Super Cup and the Intercontinental Cup, the exercise was particularly trying, marked by numerous controversies.
The fight between Federico Valverde and Aurélien Tchouameni was the latest illustration of this and this episode has therefore reinforced the Madrid leaders in the need to recruit an experienced man to lead the team. The interim of Alvaro Arbeloa, called to the rescue at the start of winter to succeed Xabi Alonso, will not have been convincing and the future Madrid coach should have a completely different pedigree.
According to the Madrid press, Florentino Perez is also considering bringing back a former member of the house: José Mourinho. He nevertheless strongly denied the rumors announcing his comeback. “We continue to talk about Real Madrid, and for my part, I continue to avoid this subject, sincerely. I have had no contact with the president or any other club official, he told the press on Sunday. At the end of the season, I don’t talk to anyone. I haven’t had any contact with Real Madrid and I won’t have any until the last league match against Estoril. »
Didier Deschamps, Real Madrid’s plan B

however, he clarified. But until then, everything that has leaked out of meetings and calls is pure speculation. »
But to believe Mundo Deportivothe path leading to the Portuguese technician is not the only one considered by Florentino Perez and his teams. The Madrid management would also have mentioned the name of Didier Deschamps, whose adventure at the head of the Blues is coming to an end. The former midfielder would be considered plan B by the merengue giant, who would be convinced of his ability to manage a locker room like that of Real Madrid.
