Real Madrid is preparing for a managerial change as Alvaro Arbeloa's tenure faces uncertainty after a disappointing season. With the club potentially missing out on major trophies for a second consecutive year, they are exploring options, including Didier Deschamps, who will leave his role as France head coach after the upcoming World Cup. Deschamps, who has not managed at the club level since 2012, is seen as a strong candidate due to his experience and previous connections with key players like Kylian Mbappe and Aurelien Tchouameni. Real Madrid's president, Florentino Perez, is under pressure to make the right decision following the failed appointment of Xabi Alonso last summer. The club needs a manager capable of handling a star-studded roster, and while Deschamps fits that profile, his lack of recent club experience presents a risk.
