Real Madrid plotting ambitious move for manager linked with the Man United job
Real Madrid, along with Manchester United, are looking for a new manager at the end of the season.
Both the clubs are set to end the season without a trophy, following spells of struggles in the season.
Both Real Madrid and Man United parted ways with their managers in the middle of the season.
Xabi Alonso was shown the exit door at the Santiago Bernabeu while Ruben Amorim was sacked following a poor run of form at Old Trafford.
Coincidentally, both the club turned to their former players. Alvaro Arbeloa joined Real Madrid while Michael Carrick was given the keys to the kingdom at Old Trafford.
However, both of them were interim appointments and now the search for a permanent manager has started.
Real Madrid are set to target Unai Emery
According to talkSPORT, Spanish giants Real Madrid have officially placed Aston Villa mastermind Unai Emery on their highly exclusive shortlist to become their next manager.
As Los Blancos begin mapping out their long-term future, their search for a proven, tactically astute leader has seemingly led them straight to the Premier League.
When the Spaniard first arrived at Villa Park, the club was struggling to find a clear identity.
Fast forward to today, and he has completely transformed them into a legitimate Premier League heavyweight, consistently disrupting the established elite and turning their home ground into a genuine fortress.
His brilliant ability to elevate individual players and implement a highly effective, possession-heavy system has rightfully re-established him as one of the elite managers in world football.
From Real Madrid’s perspective, adding Emery to their wishlist makes perfect logical sense.
Club president Florentino Perez knows exactly what it takes to survive in the Spanish capital, and Emery’s La Liga pedigree is absolutely undeniable.
Spaniard has been highly successful in La Liga
He has a massive history of overachieving in Spain, having previously delivered immense success and multiple trophies during his stints at Sevilla and Villarreal.
More importantly, he possesses the one thing Madrid values above all else, elite European knockout pedigree.
As a serial winner on the continental stage, his tactical blueprint is practically tailor-made for navigating tricky Champions League ties.
Emery is totally bought into the long-term project backed by Villa’s highly ambitious ownership group. More importantly, he is firmly locked into a massive contract that runs all the way until the summer of 2029.
Even Man United are interested in him but both Real Madrid and the Red Devils face a mountain to climb to convince him to leave the promising project at Aston Villa.
