5 reasons why Real Madrid must not hire Jose Mourinho as their next manager

#1 There are better options

Pochetino has also been linked with the Real Madrid job

While Jose Mourinho might be the favorite for the Real Madrid job, there are also a number of potential candidates who could be appointed in Solari's stead.

Coaches like Antonio Conte, Laurent Blanc and Arsene Wenger are among a host of serial winning managers who are currently without a job. Others such as Jurgen Klopp, Max Allegri and Mauricio Pochetino might prove more problematic due to their current engagements.

Almost all of the aforementioned coaches are arguably better options for Real Madrid than Jose Mourinho at the moment, as they have been among the most successful coaches in the world over the last few years, while also possessing the requisite managerial skills to thrive at the club.

The Real coaching job is arguably the biggest in the world and it is every coach's dream to seat on the Bernabeu hotseat, with the allure of managing such great players and all the history attached to the club making it almost impossible to say no. Hence, convincing them to take the job should not be too difficult.

Since there are a number of world class coaching options available to Real Madrid who could represent better and cheaper alternatives to Jose Mourinho, why should the club settle for less when they can have much much more?
