To the full article

Raoul

Pros:

"Zidane's mythology can only be replaced with the arrival of another symbol. Raul will be the natural heir, a solution from home, as Zidane was at the time, he can bring with him a lot of charisma - something that is missing in the locker room."

Disadvantages:

"Lack of experience plays to his detriment, although he has coached a lot in the youth department and reserve team. The insecurity he may have can create friction, and this is not the best way to start a new project."

Antonio Conte

Pros:

"An experienced and proven coach, with a record of victories. Won four Italian championships and once in the Premier League. He will not be afraid, despite the size of the challenge. Known for his locker room control and could be the perfect candidate for the revolution as Real plans to go in the summer. "His (Inter scored 89 goals this season) will be popular at the Bernabeu."

Disadvantages:

"Although his character appears on the list of advantages, there is also an argument against it. He got the name of someone who is not always loved in the locker rooms of big teams, and the players are used to someone with a different character - Zidane."

Mauricio Pochettino

Pros:

"He has a good relationship with the club, he knows Real Madrid values him very much and always wanted to come. He has a classic profile, he seems to have good relationships in the locker rooms and he left Tottenham when everyone agreed on his tactical qualities as a coach. He is Argentine so you will not be If he has a problem with the language, he knows the club, the league and the media in Spain. "

Disadvantages:

"Coming after a big defeat at Paris Saint-Germain, he failed to win the championship despite a large budget and a glittering squad. Like a number of past coaches, his character will not really sweep the crowd. He has less charisma from Conte and less connection from Raul. Unless Paris Saint-Germain "German will decide to give him up, it will be difficult for him to leave."

As for the charisma and connection to the club there is no doubt.

Xabi Alonso

Pros:

"His first steps as an exciting coach, he was very successful in the Real Sociedad subsidiary and seemed ready for bigger challenges. Understanding his football sets him a bright future. He can take over the club and shape it according to his style. There is no doubt about his charisma and connection to the club ".

Disadvantages:

"Despite the success, he has not experienced much pressure and is still a bit unbaked for the challenge like the bench at the Bernabeu. Also, while Raul is waiting for the job, it may not be well received by him to take on a coach with similar experience."
