Pochettino is the only one between Zidane and Raúl Gonzalez

The two consecutive defeats and the bad signs that Real Madrid is sending at the start of the season They have motivated that, as is logical, within the entity they begin to suspect alternatives. On the other hand, it is understood that Zidane is an unpredictable coach in his reactions, And that just as he left his post as soon as he won his third consecutive Champions League, he was able to save the entity again when he needed it most. And if we had to look for an alternative to French, there are two clear ones, one is in the house and it is Raúl. The other in the market is Pochettino, former Tottenham and the only coach with a Real Madrid profile who is without a team. Madrid already tested him before Lopetegui came …

The ideal option for Florentino Pérez (always in the worst case, if the team continues to fall into a spin), is that of Raúl González. It was the president who insisted on the Madrid legend to return to the entity after having completed a stage as ambassador of the League in the United States. The Youth League won by his team was an accolade for the mythical seven, but there are doubts as to whether he is ready to take the big step. Zidane picked up the first team after a season of experience as second to Ancelotti and 57 games at the helm of Castilla (26 wins, 17 draws, 14 losses). Raúl only liaised for a few months between the president and the first team, with no work on the technical staff, and leads Castilla in 29 games (11 wins, ten draws, eight losses).

As for Pochettino, the flirtations with Real Madrid in recent times have been constant. He is without a team and eager to train. The problem is that not being a coach of the house, he would demand a contract of longer duration and armored as possible. In this sense, in recent times at Real Madrid it is customary to impose a clause on the coaches by which, in the event of being fired, they only charge the remainder of the current season and the last year of their contract.

The time Pochettino came closest to signing for Real Madrid was in the summer of 2018. But he had just renewed until 2023 with Tottenham. “To be brave to coach Real Madrid? The other way around … He then said in the presentation of his biography, letting himself be loved. But he has winked many more times. In 2019, in the last big bump of Zidane, it also sounded. The last nod was recently made in an interview at Cope: “Of course coaching Real Madrid is one of my dreams. I don't know if I'll ever coach Madrid because football takes you, but of course it's my dream. If it is not the best it is one of the best clubs in the world. I'm no different, everyone has it on their dream list. “ And, incidentally, he distanced himself from Barça: They didn't offer me to coach Barça. I didn't see myself with Bartomeu. “I did eat with Ramón Planes because we have a friendship for many years, since 2009 when he signed for Espanyol.”
