Defensa Central appeals to Perez: “There is no longer a problem preventing you from signing the coach you wanted at Real Madrid for years”
Real is going through a difficult period in terms of results, although it is still competing in three tournaments: the Spanish League, the King’s Cup and the European Champions League.
It occupies second place in the La Liga standings, 9 points behind leaders Barcelona, and has a foot and a half in the quarter-finals of the Champions League, after defeating Liverpool in the first leg of the round of 16 with five goals to two, and in the King’s Cup of Spain, it faces the specter of exit from the semi-finals after defeat against Barcelona in the Bernabéu with a goal Clean in the first leg.
Therefore, with the disappointing results since the end of the World Cup in Qatar, Carlo Ancelotti’s future is unknown and there is even a greater possibility that he will be sacked at the end of the season even though his contract expires in 2024.
On the other hand, the Brazilian national team wants to appoint Ancelotti as technical director to succeed Tite, and there are already ongoing talks between the two parties, amid speculation that the Italian coach has already agreed to take over the task at the end of the current season.
Florentino Perez has a list of potential replacements to succeed Ancelotti in Real Madrid training, such as Thomas Tuchel, who has been sitting without work since his dismissal from Chelsea training, Xabi Alonso, who achieved impressive successes with Bayer Leverkusen, as well as Raul Gonzalez, who is being prepared in the Castilla team to become coach of the first team.
But there is another name that Florentino Perez wanted for many years, but he could not sign him, Mauricio Pochettino, according to the Spanish network Defense Central.
The network appealed to the president of Real Madrid to contract with the Argentine coach, and explained that it was an old wish for him, as he first contracted with him when he was coach of Tottenham, but the English club closed the door to negotiations, as well as in 2021 after Zidane’s resignation, but he was associated with Barbie Saint-Germain, and now there is no longer a problem to sign him. Where he sits without work since his departure from the French team.
