Real Madrid is undergoing significant changes once again. Xabi Alonso managed to leave a lasting mark on the club structure, but after his departure, the duties of the Real Madrid coach were temporarily assumed by Alvaro Arbeloa.
The former defender of the Spanish giants knows the club well, but even he admits that this is just a temporary phase. The management is now actively working on finding a coach who can lead the club seriously and for the long term. Bookmakers have updated the odds, and some of the names have fans on edge.
Klopp and Maresca are the Main Favorites
As of now, two famous names share first place in the ranking of candidates for the head coach position at Real Madrid. Bookmakers have rated Enzo Maresca’s and Jürgen Klopp’s chances at 4.00, and these odds are already being активно discussed by fans and analysts across football media and best sports betting websites 18+, where interest in the next Real Madrid manager continues to grow.
Klopp is known for being charismatic and winning trophies. He knows how to inspire, change a club’s philosophy, and unite stars. He is a perfect example of how Liverpool became a top force in European football. If the German does join Real Madrid, it would be a historic move.
Enzo Maresca, who recently left Chelsea and refused a large compensation for the early termination of his contract, also has strong chances of becoming Real Madrid’s next mentor. Maresca is seen as a rising star in European coaching, and his reputation across Europe continues to grow.
Other Contenders in the Mix
The third most likely candidate named by top bookmakers is Thomas Tuchel, with odds of 6.00. The England national football coach takes pride in a considerable list of achievements from his work in leading European clubs. He stands out for his pragmatism, attention to ball control, and technical aspects.
Apart from Tuchel, these candidates have also been given solid odds:
- Jose Mourinho – 10.00.
- Julian Nagelsmann – 10.00.
- Andoni Iraola – 10.00
- Zinedine Zidane – 10.00.
- Alvaro Arbeloa – 10.00
Actually, this is not the complete list of all the candidates considered by Betting18: the top ten with odds of 16.00 include Roberto De Zerbi, Oliver Glasner, and Unai Emery.
