da cassino online： After just ten La Liga games, Real Madrid have terminated the contract of Julen Lopetegui with immediate effect.
da jogodeouro： Madrid went into Sunday’s El Clasico with three league defeats in their first nine games, so losing 5-1 to their arch-rivals Barcelona was always going to end in tears for somebody.
Lopetegui’s sacking means he has lost two of the biggest jobs in Spain in the space four months, after being let go by the Spanish national team before the World Cup.
So now attention turns to who will replace him.
Real Madrid B coach Santiago Solari has been named the interim boss for the club’s upcoming fixtures, but who will be given one of world football’s most lucrative jobs full time?
From ex-Premier League winners to World Cup winners and former Madrid bosses, the bookmakers have put together a list of the favourites up for the job. The favourite will most likely surprise you.
Louis van Gaal – 40/1
The Dutchman hasn’t been seen on a touchline since he was sacked by Manchester United in 2016.
At 67 years old, van Gaal isn’t too old to take the job, but considering he had two spells at rivals Barcelona, it is unlikely the Madrid owners will want him in charge.
Gareth Southgate – 50/1
First of all, what a guy! If anyone deserves to be linked with one of the greatest jobs in world football, it’s Gareth Southgate.
It is unlikely though, not only has Southgate just signed a bumper new deal with England, Madrid will surely be looking for someone with more pedigree.
Zinedine Zidane 40/1
Re-appointing Zinedine Zidane wouldn’t be the most surprising thing to happen in football, but is still very unlikely.
The Frenchman only left in the summer, after winning three straight Champions League titles with Los Blancos and is reportedly holding out for a new challenge.
Xabi Alonso – 40/1
Alonso retired from playing in 2017, from a career that saw him play for Liverpool, Bayern Munich and Real Madrid.
The Spanish midfielder who played more than 150 games for Los Blancos, recently completed his UEFA coaching badges and is currently working in the youth set-up in Madrid.
Jurgen Klopp – 40/1
We are clutching at straws here with Jurgen Klopp, who is enjoying Liverpool’s best start to a Premier League season under his management.
If approached by Madrid, he will surely consider it just because it’s Madrid, but we very much doubt he will think about it for too long.
Didier Deschamps – 40/1
