REAL MADRID are lining up Arsene Wenger to replace
sacked boss Fabio Capello. Capello was ruthlessly sacked today
despite leading Real to their first La Liga title in four years.
And Arsenal boss Wenger is at the top of Real's list of potential
new managers.
Wenger, 57, has only one year left on his Gunners contract and has
said he is unwilling to commit himself beyond 2008. After close
friend David Deins controversial departure - and star player
Thierry Henry's exit - sources close to Wenger believe he may
consider his time has run out.
Real are also expected to make their move for Getafe boss Bernd
Schuster. Real's sporting director Pedja Mijatovic earlier
confirmed Capello's exit. He said: "We have decided not to continue
with Fabio Capello as our coach for next season. "It was not an
easy decision to take as he has worked well. "But he is not the
ideal person to achieve all that we want."
