Real Madrid are going for Arteta I am hearing.

 

[KrissKringle]

Wenger said he's ready to take another big club and it would be absolutely crazy if Perez offers him the job.
He mentioned two weeks ago he refused Real 2-3 times in the past to stay at Arsenal.

Thomas Tuchel: Sack watch

Real Madrid are going for Arteta I am hearing.

Apparently Florentino is having second thoughts after his CV turned up with 'Sent from my iPad' at the bottom.

It won't happen, but on the other hand Perez did hire Benitez despite him kinda flopping at Napoli. So you never know with them.

 

[Oh_Snap]

If they take Poch it would make things so much easier for us next year

wonder if media will talk about a north london power shift

 

[Mo Britain]

What a nightmare if Wenger gets the Madrid job. My favourite manager in charge of the team I hate most. Ugh!

Wenger Out!

 

[Rimaal]

Fingers crossed Zizou doesn't go to Chelsea.

Fingers crossed Zizou doesn't go to Chelsea.

Assuming he’s escaping the Madrid boardroom and locker room nonsense, I kind of doubt he’s itching to go experience Chelsea’s brand of shenanigans.

 

[SomGooner]

Why would Real want Poch? He’s just not that high profile for them.

As a player he was an average bum whose best attributes were kicking his opponents, and as a coach he hasn’t proven that he has what it takes to lead the greatest football club ever.

Managing Sp**s (Where your biggest star is a mouthbreathing inbred who steals goals from his teammates by swearing on his daughter’s life) is a child’s play, compared to managing a team full of global superstars with serious appetite for winning major trophies.

 

[SomGooner]

Apprently he was fed up of not having a say on major decisions regrading the arrivals/departures of players.

But then again many journalists considered him to be a yes man when he got the job in the first place, so I dont know what is true or false.

Over all he’s a legend and will always remain as one of the greatest coaches to ever do it.

 

[razörist]

Zidane has always protected his own legend very well, even after the 2006 WC final. He has done something no other manager has, what better time to move on than that? All the talk about Perez not wanting him anymore, Perez loves him, no other manager would have been able to stay on after Real Madrid’s first half of the season. And now Zidane delivers the third CL trophy in a row and Perez still doesn’t want him to stay? Give me a break.

So stupid for Pochettino to have signed that new contract recently

He probably got on the phone to his agent to shred the thing the moment the news broke

Were I Poch, I’d let someone else take on the the unenviable task of coaching a touchy, aging squad with sky-high expectations after 3 straight CLs, then pop up in ~2020 (at the latest) to save the day once expectations have been tempered a bit.

I've a feeling whoever steps in now or after the unfortunate fool who succeeds Zidane will face insurmountable odds as the bar has been raised to a monumental degree.

Zidane has ruined Madrid for all potential managers

Having said that, this is still a squad able to finish on the top 2 in La Liga and to win the CL again. Not mention that they have some pretty good young players coming up the ranks and have enough money to buy basically any talent they want not named Messi and perhaps Neymar. All in all not a bad gig, all things considered.

BILD/Transfermarkt report that Real Madrid were interested in Julian Nagelsmann to follow Zidane as their manager, but he turned them down after "a bit of pondering".

So not even the arguably current biggest club in football could lure him away, not just Arsenal failed to do so. Puts the part of the search for a new manager, at least regarding Nagelsmann, into perspective.

The article then mentions Wenger as a candidate amongst others for the Real job.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

Really surprising appointment this.

 

[<<reed>>]

Good choice

 

[razörist]

Really surprising appointment this.

He has a whole month to convince De Gea to move to Real.
