Florentino working on Valdano as Real Madrid coach
Real Madrid president Florentino Perez would like to see GM Jorge Valdano take over as coach should Manuel Pellegrini fail to get his team to click, it has been revealed.
Sport says Perez is losing patience with the poor style of football Real are playing and defeat at Sevilla has only exasperated the problem.
The Real president is confident Valdano, a former head coach at Madrid, could get the team playing the way he expects, but the Argentine is reluctant to return to the coaching field.
Along with Pellegrini's failure to gel his new-look team, Perez is also unhappy with the rotation policy, insisting the club's stars need to be seen as much as possible.

sir alex u *****, how about manure shit team gets help from the white stripes.
This is one " ***** eyed " idea. Who will clean when Valdano makes a mess ? .... The win at all cost has plaque Madrid since Del Bosque left...." OUT " if you do not win...Almost happened to Capello a few years back....NOW ....After 1 defeat...It is showing its ugly head again.....
i agree that mr. perez should try coaching himself. and when he loss a game and fails to produce beautiful football, he shoud be fired.
