Arbeloa on the way out? Florentino Pérez personally wants Mauricio Pochettino as Real Madrid head coach
Pérez is preparing for all possible scenarios.
Details: According to The Touchline, citing ESPN, Real Madrid president Florentino Pérez is increasingly losing faith in the current Galácticos manager Álvaro Arbeloa and has already begun searching for a potential replacement for the Spaniard.

Sources say that one of the main and most coveted candidates for the new Real Madrid head coach is 56-year-old Mauricio Pochettino, who is currently in charge of the United States national team.
It is expected that if Arbeloa fails to meet the objectives set by the board, he will have to leave his position at the end of the season. Pochettino’s contract with the US national team expires after the upcoming World Cup, and Pérez hopes the Argentine will not renew it, paving the way for Pochettino’s move to Real Madrid.
Arbeloa took charge of Real in January this year. He has overseen 13 matches at the helm of the Galácticos, recording 9 wins and 4 defeats. Currently, Real sits second in La Liga, trailing leaders Barcelona by 4 points.
