USMNT Coach Mauricio Pochettino Emerges as Real Madrid Managerial Candidate
Real Madrid is reportedly conducting an extensive search for their next manager, revisiting several past targets. While there's no official confirmation regarding Alvaro Arbeloa's future, reports suggest growing skepticism within both the squad and club hierarchy about his suitability for a permanent role.
Jurgen Klopp remains a prominent candidate, though his willingness to come out of retirement is uncertain. Other names emerging as potential contenders include Unai Emery and Massimiliano Allegri, with Allegri having been previously considered for the role in 2021 after Zinedine Zidane's departure.
Mauricio Pochettino in the Frame for Real Madrid Job
Mauricio Pochettino, who was also linked to Los Blancos in 2021 following a highly successful period at Tottenham Hotspur, is reportedly back on Real Madrid's shortlist. According to sources, the Argentine is being considered as an alternative to Arbeloa, whose chances of securing the permanent position are described as slim. Arbeloa might still be offered an alternative role within the club.
Pochettino Out of Contract After World Cup
The USMNT coach, who will lead his team into the World Cup this summer, is set to be out of contract afterward. His two-year tenure with the national team has drawn mixed reactions, and he has also been linked with a potential return to Tottenham Hotspur. While he has previous La Liga experience from his time managing Espanyol, his more recent spells at Paris Saint-Germain and Chelsea were considered less successful.
