Real Madrid's hierarchy are considering former France manager Didier Deschamps as a potential replacement for José Mourinho, according to Radio MARCA journalist Sergio Valentín on social media.
Despite the Portuguese tactician being given complete control over transfers and squad building during the summer, the Madrid board are growing frustrated with unconvincing performances and the absence of a clear playing identity. Although the dressing room remains behind their manager, his position is increasingly precarious. At present, the club has yet to make an official move to dismiss Mourinho or open talks with the French coach.
In La Liga, Los Blancos sit third in the table with 21 points from their opening nine matches. In the Champions League, Real Madrid are set to host RB Leipzig on October 21 in the third round of Europe's premier club competition.
Deschamps, 58, has been without a team since the summer of 2026 following the end of his long spell in charge of Les Bleus. Under his guidance, France lifted the World Cup in 2018 and the Nations League in 2021, while also reaching the finals of Euro 2016 and the 2022 World Cup.
