"Los Blancos have not managed to turn the situation around in Arbeloa's first few months as coach and some sources claim that the current coach would need "a miracle" or to win the Champions League to have any chance of remaining in the dugout next season."
"Sources say that Madrid are evaluating different candidates to lead the new sporting project and that Pochettino is one of the coaches highly regarded by president Florentino Pérez. He has been heavily linked with an emotional return to Spurs this summer, although his former team have endured a disastrous season."
"Pochettino, who knows LaLiga well from his playing days, has past experience managing high-profile players during his time at Tottenham, Paris Saint-Germain and Chelsea. However, one of the points most valued by the Madrid is that he coached Kylian Mbappé for two seasons in Paris."
Real Madrid has begun scouting the coaching market for potential replacements for Álvaro Arbeloa, with Mauricio Pochettino among the candidates being evaluated. Arbeloa was hired in January to replace Xabi Alonso, but was never considered a long-term solution despite his respected work with the youth team. Madrid's performance under Arbeloa has been disappointing, and sources indicate he would need to win the Champions League to retain his position. The club may offer Arbeloa an alternative role, potentially returning him to coach Castilla. Pochettino, currently managing the United States national team, is highly regarded by president Florentino Pérez. His experience managing elite players at Tottenham, PSG, and Chelsea, combined with his previous coaching of Kylian Mbappé in Paris, makes him an attractive candidate for Madrid's new sporting project.
