Barca Legend for Real Madrid? - sport24.at

Of all people, a former Barcelona coach is supposed to lead the Royals out of the crisis.

After Xabi Alonso left, Álvaro Arbeloa initially took over the helm at the Royals, but the 43-year-old is not considered a permanent solution. Real wants to present the new coach in the summer – there could be a big surprise.

Spectacular return?

As the “Speedline” portal reports, Luis Enrique, of all people, is considered a hot candidate. The 55-year-old is currently coaching Paris, but was previously the coach of Real’s arch-rivals Barcelona. According to the report, Enrique is said to be not averse to returning to Spain and taking over Los Blancos.

The coaching coup would definitely be explosive. Luis Enrique managed Barca between 2014 and 2017 and also won the last Champions League title with the Catalans. What many fans no longer know is that the 55-year-old played for FC Barcelona for eight years, but also played a total of 213 games for Real. Luis Enrique was under contract with Los Blancos between 1991 and 1996 before moving to Barca. Now there could be a comeback in Madrid.
