This is the most serious candidate to take the lead in Real Madrid

Monaco's former coach, Leonardo Jardim, is the most serious candidate to become Real Madrid's new coach, according to the Spanish daily “Marcha”.

Los Blancko shared the streets with Yulen Lopetegüi last weekend, following the humiliation Barcelona caused Real Madrid.

Santiago Solar was appointed temporary coach until the civil manager found Lopetegüi's general replacement.

While reports that Tottenham's current coach, Maurizio Pochettino, is well liked by European champion leaders, Jardim is thought to be the most serious candidate on their list.
