Laudrup wants Real Madrid job

According to reports in Spain, Michael Laudrup has contacted Real Madrid regarding the possibility of managing the Spanish giants in the not so distant future. Julen Lopetegui is under a great deal of pressure courtesy of his poor start to life as boss, with it being clear to see that he was a poor choice to succeed the outgoing Zinedine Zidane. Laudrup, on the other hand, has just finished up his time managing over in Qatar – and it appears as if he’s ready to dive back into European football.

Laudrup played for Real for two years during his playing career, and would serve as another ex-player turned manager for the European champions – which is probably something they wouldn’t be all too opposed to given the success that Zidane had.

Lopetegui is reportedly clinging onto his job by a thread, and one or two more bad results could well signal the end of his tenure at the Bernabeu.
