Real are searching for a new coach again. Unai Emery is the top candidate to replace Arbeloa
The coaching carousel at Real Madrid is turning into a disaster. In less than a month under Álvaro Arbeloa, the Royal Club crashed out of the Copa del Rey and now faces a real threat to its Champions League hopes.
Details: According to Diario SPORT, Los Blancos’ management have already started their search for a new head coach, and Aston Villa boss Unai Emery tops the shortlist. The club has made contact with Emery to gauge his willingness to take on a new project, despite the fact that he is under contract with the Birmingham side until 2029.
Reports suggest the atmosphere in the Madrid dressing room is at breaking point: after the humiliating 4-2 defeat to Benfica—where the team barely avoided an even heavier loss—the players have completely lost faith in Arbeloa. The situation has been further inflamed by a conflict with Arda Güler, who has openly voiced his dissatisfaction with the manager.
Spanish coach Unai Emery currently leads the shortlist ahead of high-profile names like Jürgen Klopp and Zinedine Zidane.
Reminder: Real Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois congratulated Anatoliy Trubin after the Ukrainian scored a goal.
