Scolari new favourite to succeed Pellegrini at Real Madrid

Luiz Felipe Scolari is being linked with Manuel Pellegrini's job at Real Madrid.

Don Balon says Cristiano Ronaldo's minders have already been sounded out about the prospect of working with the Brazilian and he has given the move his thumbs up. Ronaldo knows Scolari well from their days together with the Portugal national team.

Real president Florentino Perez is convinced Scolari has the man-management ability to handle the big egos inside the Madrid dressing room, despite his struggles at former club Chelsea.

Scolari is currently in charge of Uzbekistan powerhouse Bunydokor and could succeed Pellegrini if Real fail to impress at Barcelona in a fortnight's time.

Knn RM , select your manager properly leh. anyhow appoint any manager and then sack him when results dun go your way. if pelligrini is sacked, appoint someone better than scolari for goodness sake. appoint people like mourinho or even rafa lol.

RAFAEL GOOD CHOICE! take him away from liverpool man

As what Ah Ben have dropped his hint to RM, when the signings are expensive, he can do it.

I have no doubt of him clinching the spanish title this season if RM is willing to buy Ah Ben over from Liverpool.

That is managerial transfer for you during mid-season.

It will be fun for Ah Ben to be tortured by egoistic players in RM.

they're not going to achieve much when they keep changing coaches more often than they change underwear

and they're not going to get a proper team if they keep focussing on the egos and whatnot of the players than the actual football itself

aiyo,xabi and Rafa together again?? that will be funny.

but RM has this "fire" mentality for quite a while.

I guess extra pressure since Barca did the treble.

since russia is out of the world cup, they should engage hiddink than scolari. or maybe RM prefer rafa, as he was their youth coach last time.
