After a painful defeat to Bayern in the quarterfinals of the Champions League with a 3:4 draw, the Spanish giants reconsidered the coaching staff. The team's current coach, Alvaro Arbeloa, is on his way out after the end of the season..

As El Mundo reports, the capital’s club is already actively searching for a striker.

Among the names included in the negotiations is Argentina national team head coach Lionel Scaloni. Also, Jurgen Klopp, Mauricio Pochettino, Didie Deschamps and Jose Mourinho are in the running.

The Madrid club will bet exclusively on proven players based on their successes in the international arena. Young coaches - Julian Nagelsmann and Cesc Fabregas - have not reached the list of candidates.

Arbeloa left Real Madrid in the dark after the resignation of Xabi Alonso. Nina's team loses nine points to La Lisa to Barcelona - with seven rounds to the finish, the championship chances are effectively spent.

Lionel Scaloni is the Argentina national team member for 2018. Under his leadership, the team won the title of World Champion 2022 and won the America's Cup for two years. The official contract of the coach with the federation is until the end of 2026.
