Overview
- ESPN reports that Mauricio Pochettino is on Real Madrid’s shortlist for next season, with his track record and past work with Kylian Mbappé viewed favorably by club leadership.
- Arbeloa is expected to continue for now but would likely need a dramatic turnaround, possibly a Champions League triumph, to keep the job, and he could be offered another role at the club if replaced.
- Spanish media claim Arbeloa could be dismissed before the international break if results worsen, though recent reporting says his position is currently considered safe.
- Sources say a broader summer overhaul is being explored, with head scout Juni Calafat under scrutiny after recent signings and his future potentially tied to whether the team finishes without trophies.
- Other high-profile names linked include Jürgen Klopp, Unai Emery and Massimiliano Allegri, though Fabrizio Romano states there is no agreement or advanced talks with Klopp at this time.
