Guti Will Be Real Madrid’s Next Manager, Real Murcia President Claims

Real Murcia’s president says they were unable to hire Guti as their new coach because he is about to be appointed Real Madrid boss.

Zinedine Zidane left his post at the Bernabeu last month after landing his third successive Champions League trophy.

In the aftermath of his departure various names, including Mauricio Pochettino and Massimiliano Allegri, have been linked with the job.

However, Murcia’s president Victor Galvez says Guti, who is in charge of Real Madrid’s U18 side, will be the man to succeed Zidane.


“Guti won’t become Murcia boss because he’s going to become Real Madrid coach,” Galvez said.

“He was the guy I wanted, and it’s a shame Zidane didn’t take a couple of days longer to make his decision. Guti called me to thank me for my interest.”
