Who Wants to Coach Real Madrid:

Three coaches that will not coach Real Madrid are:

Fabio Capello
Arsene Wenger
Rafa Benitez


Fabio Capello with this designer glasses, has a young Juventus team, is on the verge of dominance in the Serie A, and he beats Milan to the Champions League this year, he is not going anywhere. Why would you leave Juventus for the David Beckham circus and have to start over. Arrigo Sacchi's presence at Real Madrid gives them a chance, but it will not happen.

Arsene Wenger, as much as it pains me to compliment a Frenchman, is doing an awesome job this year and yes, unlike Manchester United and all the other pretenders in the England, has his team rebuilding for 2006-2007. A young team, with the likes of Van Persie, Kleb, and Fabregas, this man is a maestro at buying the right players under the radar. With that sneaky smile, he knows he has a team that next year can contend with Chelsea, is seeking European Glory(this won't happen) and a new stadium while waiting to take over the French Side. But he will probably lose Henry, but for now he is not going anywhere

Rafa Benitez won the Champions League with Liverpool and with Players like Cisse nonetheless. A class act that can simply coach, and while the rest of us are still trying to figure out how he it did last May in Istanbul, he is not going anywhere. Which brings me to the why these coaches are attracting so much attention.

Real Madrid is going nowhere. They are a second-rate team, with the likes of Villareal and Valencia vying for number tow in La Liga. But Vanderlei Luxemburgo is going to be fired for sure, its just a matter time, but my theory is not before Real Madrid get another one or two top Brazilian players to commit to come over to play in Madrid. I think just as Beckham was brought in to sell mass appeal, hair gel and whatever else he is into this week, Luxemburgo was brought in to shore up the pipeline of young players from Brazil to Real Madrid. So for now, the top three sought after coaches after Mourinho are going nowhere, but I have a solution, have Roy Keane coach Real Madrid...that would be cool, watching him and Posh Beckham fight over who get the last slap on David...
