Real Madrid enlist the help of club legend to convince top managerial target With Alvaro Arbeloa expected to be relieved from his duties as the first-team head coach at the end of the season, Real Madrid are already on the hunt for a replacement. And, in recent days, two names have emerged as the frontrunners – former Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp, who is currently the Global Head of Football for the Red Bull Group, and SL Benfica boss Jose Mourinho. Klopp, though, appears to be more preferred at this stage by Los Blancos , who will consider moving to bring Mourinho back to the club only if the German does not say yes .
Toni Kroos to convince Jurgen Klopp? Now, according to journalist Joaquin Maroto (via Ramon Alvarez) , Real Madrid have enlisted the help of former midfielder and club legend Toni Kroos to convince Klopp to become their next manager. As has already been reported , Los Blancos are working to bring Kroos back to the club by offering him a role in the sporting structure.

And now, Kroos is understood to be working to convince his compatriot, Klopp, to take over the reins at the Santiago Bernabeu.
The report suggests that if Kroos is able to find out that Klopp is willing to join, Real Madrid will make their move swiftly to appoint him as the next manager. The former Liverpool boss, for his part, is happy with his current job with Red Bull and will only consider leaving it for Real Madrid . So, there could be a strong possibility that Klopp might end up taking over the reins at Real Madrid at the end of the season, even though other names like Mourinho, Mauricio Pochettino, and Didier Deschamps have been considered.
