Florentino Perez wants to repeat Zinedine Zidane's story - Julen Lopetegui is being pushed out of the coach position and the second team coach is being called in to take his place. According to "Marca", there is a good chance that J. Lopetegui will no longer be by the bench during tomorrow's match against Plzen's "Viktoria". It is believed that F. Perez is ready to hand him a farewell letter. Such talks are quite justified - J. Lopetegui cannot lead the "white" team to victory for the fifth game in a row. The publication indicates that most likely J. Lopetegui's duties will be entrusted to a former club player who is now coaching "Castilla", Santiago Solari. He started coaching the youth team immediately after taking over the main team from Zinedine Zidane. His results in the "Castilla" team in the first two years were quite poor, but this season in nine matches they have not experienced a single defeat in the third division of the country's football. "Marca" also emphasizes that the candidates list includes Antonio Conte and Laurent Blanc, but more chances that the interim coach duties will go to S. Solari. If the Argentine proves his worth, he could get a new contract at the end of the season, but if he fails to achieve good results, they will once again consider Mauricio Pochettino in the summer.
AS: Solari or Conte the main options to replace Julen.
