Real Madrid is arguably the biggest club managerial job in the world, yet, once again, there’s a vacancy on the bench at the Bernabeu after the firing of Julen Lopetegui four months after he took charge.
The manager, whose summer negotiations with Real Madrid cost him his Spanish national team job on the eve of the World Cup, has made way after struggling at the start of life in the capital city. His departure opens a vacancy, which, for the meantime, will be filled by Real Madrid Castilla coach Santiago Solari. But a number of high-profile candidates have been batted around to take on the world’s greatest hotseat, which has been known to chew up and spit out even the most reputable of managers. Only Zinedine Zidane has left on his own terms in recent years, and perhaps he saw coming what has transpired: a toxic situation, an aging core of stars and the after-effects of the departure of a superstar who wasn’t adequately replaced.
So in what direction should Real Madrid go to choose a new leader to take it back to prominence? We take a look at the options reportedly being considered:
Santiago Solari should have chance to take over RM job permanently.
Full knowledge of entire squad, players who could challenge regulars, understands club philosophy (there is one. I know, it’s crazy, but there is lol) etc
From a coaching perspective, Zidane took the same path.

But, in this particular situation I am a realist and know that’s not how Perez operates. One bad or unfavorable result, just one (and it will probably be away at Roma on Nov. 27 that does it), and his days will be numbered. But I think, like you said, this is all about man management, and who better to handle egos than a man who is already too familiar with the narcissism that exists at the club? Having said all that, he will 100% won’t get the job.
This is not a Band-Aid problem, and it needs long-term thinking. For me? Do everything you can to get Pochettino, who knows high-profile players such as Luka Modric and knows the league. And a bonus: a bigger incentive for Harry Kane to arrive next summer.
