Real Madrid have dismissed Xabi Alonso, with Álvaro Arbeloa currently overseeing the team, although he too could depart in the summer. One of the contenders for the position has now been identified.
Details: According to Fabrice Hawkins, France national team head coach Didier Deschamps is on the shortlist for the managerial role at the Spanish giants.
The 57-year-old Frenchman is not the only candidate. He has been in charge of France since 2012 and has previously worked at club level with Monaco, Juventus, and Marseille.
Recently, Real Madrid released a statement denying speculation regarding dismissals and a restructuring within the club’s sporting hierarchy.
Reminder: Real Madrid were beaten by Bayern Munich in the first leg of the UEFA Champions League quarter-final, and reports of internal tensions within the squad emerged after the match.
