Real Madrid will Soon Have New Coach
Real Madrid president Fernando Martin said he will be signing the club’s coach for next season within "two or three weeks." Martin’s comments indicate that caretaker coach Juan Ramon Lopez Caro will not be kept on after the season despite an improvement in Real’s fortunes.
"We'll soon have a new coach, probably in two or three weeks," Martin told Canal Plus TV.
Martin gave no indication of who will be Madrid's sixth coach since it last won a trophy in 2003, but the Spanish press are reporting that AC Milan coach Carlo Ancelotti is a strong possibility even though his contract with Milan runs through 2007. He favors the open and attacking style of football that Real has preferred in recent seasons and is rumored to want a new challenge after five seasons at the San Siro. Other reported candidates include Juventus Turin’s Fabio Capello, Liverpool’s Rafa Bentitez and Italian coach Marcelo Lippi.
Martin took charge after Florentino Perez resigned on February 27 and will be facing presidential elections in June or early July.
