Benfica, beware! If Mourinho slips up, Real Madrid have alternatives | OneFootball

While the name of José Mourinho, Benfica's coach, continues to be linked with the Real Madrid bench, two alternatives are reportedly being considered by president Florentino Pérez - who held a press conference this Tuesday.

and there are two other names on the table: Raúl González and Pellegrino Matarazzo.

As for Pellegrino Matarazzo, Real Sociedad's American coach, the source says that "one of the president's most trusted people sees Pellegrino Matarazzo as a modern option". The coach's footballing approach is highly valued.

The other name on the table is Raúl, one of the greatest figures in the club's history, and also the player with the most appearances for Los Blancos. Journalist Raúl Varela explained that "the club's more inward-looking sector", even taking into account his "unclear departure from Castilla", sees him as having "the right profile to meet the current needs".

However, according to the Spanish outlet, Florentino wants only one. "Neither Matarazzo nor Raúl will be Real Madrid coach. What matters is that they are still looking for coaches for Florentino Pérez that make the announced and leaked sole candidacy of José Mourinho unviable", the journalist says.
