Real Madrid are scouring the market for a new manager to take over the floundering team, and a divisive, familiar name has emerged atop their shortlist: José Mourinho.
The end is near for current boss Álvaro Arbeloa, who took over the team in January after Xabi Alonso’s short-lived tenure ended with a whimper. Despite his best efforts, the former Castilla boss could not revive what is a systematically broken Real Madrid side, prompting his expected dismissal this summer.
