The search for Real Madrid’s new coach is still in full swing and, in the last few hours, Florentino Pérez has crossed another big name off the list of possible candidates who could succeed Álvaro Arbeloa. According to what the press has reported, the merengues president, who is considering José Mourinho, Benfica’s coach, has ruled out Jurgen Klopp.

According to information released by the newspaper AS, the coach who found success at Borussia Dortmund and Liverpool has been ruled out for the merengues job, since his goal is to become head coach of the German national team. Until then, Klopp prefers to continue as sporting director of the Red Bull group.

At a time when the Real Madrid directors are still searching for a new coach, a process that has been led exclusively by the blancos president himself, Jurgen Klopp’s desire to take charge of the Mannschaft puts an end to the speculation surrounding his name.

In recent weeks, supporters of the Madrid club, along with the press, have been going through a period of unease, as explained by the newspaper AS, amid the uncertainty over who will be the new coach of the Spanish giant. The truth is that several names, such as Klopp’s, have been mentioned, but were never seriously considered by the merengue board.
