LaLiga: Real Madrid players reveal manager they want to replace Lopetegui

Real Madrid players have reportedly identified the manager that they want to replace current coach, Julen Lopetegui at the Santiago Bernabeu.

Lopetegui is under intense pressure at Madrid just four months after taking over from former Madrid manager, Zinedine Zidane.

Madrid suffered a 1-0 shock defeat to Alaves last two weeks into the La Liga to make it the fourth match without a win in all competitions.

The Champions League holders also lost to Sevilla and CSKA Moscow and played a draw with Atletico Madrid.

Thesportsman is now reporting that the Los Blancos players want former Chelsea boss, Antonio Conte to succeed Lopetegui at Bernabeu.

Conte is currently without a team since leaving the Blues in the summer.

Recall that the Italian was two weeks ago among the two coaches who were shortlisted for Madrid job to replace Lopetegui.

Real Madrid will take on Barcelona in the EL Clasico fixture on Saturday at Camp Nou.
