99.9% certain: Real Madrid pick new manager for next season | OneFootball

Real Madrid is very close to confirming its new coach for next season.

According to a report published by Marca this Friday (15), José Mourinho’s arrival at the club is already 99.9% decided.

The confirmation would only be a matter of time.

Still according to the Spanish outlet, the Portuguese coach was competing with names like Mauricio Pochettino and Didier Deschamps, but he was always ahead.

However, recent events at the club, with reports of fights between players, have reinforced the need for someone with Mourinho’s profile.

Real Madrid president Florentino Pérez gave a press conference this week, and the Portuguese coach was the only manager mentioned by him.

"He has been here before and raised our level," he said.

Álvaro Arbeloa is Real Madrid’s current coach. He took over the role at the start of this year after Xabi Alonso was dismissed.

The team will play two more matches this season, in La Liga, where Barcelona has already secured the title this season.
