According to reports, Real Madrid want Jose Mourinho to replace Julen Lopetegui. Real Madrid haven’t won a match for nearly a month now. They have gone 5 straight matches without a win and there have been several reports about Julen Lopetegui’s sacking. Some reports claim that Lopetegui will receive the sack in the forthcoming hours.
Lopetegui replaced Zinedine Zidane as Real Madrid manager shortly after the Frenchman announced that he’d be stepping down.
Antonio Conte was strongly linked to succeed Lopetegui as Real manager. Some reports state the Real are considering former stalwart Guti as a potential replacement.
Latest reports claim that Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho is Real’s No.1 choice for replacing Lopetegui. Mourinho himself has come under heavy scrutiny after Manchester United’s poor start to the Premier League. There are several reports that claim Manchester United will sack Mourinho soon and bring in Zinedine Zidane. However, a win against Newcastle United and a draw against Chelsea on Saturday may have extended the Portuguese’s stay at Old Trafford.
Mourinho previously managed Real Madrid from 2010-2013. Under his guidance, Real Madrid won every domestic competition- the La Liga, Copa del Ray and Supercopa de Espana.
