Real Madrid monitors Arteta and Fabregas as potential Mourinho successors

Real Madrid president Florentino Perez is reportedly monitoring two Spanish managers as potential successors to current coach Jose Mourinho. While Mourinho has recently taken charge with the goal of integrating the squad's stars, the club's management is already evaluating future leadership options.

The two primary candidates identified are Mikel Arteta and Cesc Fabregas. Arteta, currently managing Arsenal, has gained significant attention for leading the team to an English championship and a Champions League final. Fabregas, who manages Como, has impressed club officials with his offensive philosophy and his ability to develop young players, particularly following his success in leading Como to Serie A and recent performances in the Champions League.

Despite the interest, there are currently no open negotiations with either manager. The monitoring reflects the club's long-term strategic planning for its coaching staff.
