Real Madrid have been linked with a move for Jose Mourinho, but they have identified Antonio Conte as an alternative.
The Portuguese manager is currently at Benfica, and the club is looking to bring him back. It has been a disappointing season for the Spanish outfit and they have lost the league title and they have crashed out of the UEFA champions League as well.
In addition, the performances have been mediocre, and the project is unstable. They decided to start the season with Xabi Alonso as their manager, but he was shown the door midway through the campaign. They have brought in Alvaro Arbeloa to replace him, but the move has not worked out either.
They are now looking to bring in someone with experience and prove pedigree. Mourinho has managed them before, and he did an exceptional job. It is no surprise that they are interested in bringing him back.
Real Madrid is also looking at Conte
However, Fichajes claim they are also looking at Antonio Conte. The Italian is a class manager, and he has shown his ability in Italy and England. The Italian has won the league title with Napoli and Juventus in Italy and with Chelsea in England. The 56-year-old has the pedigree to manage an elite club like Real Madrid, and it will be interesting to see if the Spanish outfit decides to proceed with a move for him.
Despite having quality players at their disposal, Real Madrid have not been able to perform a high-level and someone like Conte might be able to bring out the best in their team. The Italian has shown throughout his career that he can make an immediate impact and quickly transform teams. Real Madrid will be hoping to win the league title and fight for the Champions League next season, and someone like him could be ideal for them.
The Italian is currently in charge of Napoli. He helped them win the title last season. He might be keen on taking a new challenge this summer. Real Madrid could be ideal for him. They are the biggest club in the world, and they have the resources to buy the best players. Conte will be hoping to win major trophies with them.
