Real Madrid’s decision not to appoint Antonio Conte is down to Eden Hazard’s request for the club not to put the Italian in charge.
Real Madrid announced the departure of Julen Lopetegui on Monday evening after just four and a half months in charge.
Los Blancos have confirmed the Spaniard will be “provisionally replaced” by ex-player Santiago Solari and coach of B team Castilla.
Many had expected former Chelsea boss Conte to take charge after the 49-year-old held talks with club president Florentino Perez.
But a proposed deal seems to have stalled and Inda claims Hazard was behind it.
The Belgian has long been linked with a switch to the Bernabeu but Chelsea opted not to cash in on him last summer.
Hazard has made no secret of his desire to secure a ‘dream’ move to the Spanish capital but it appears he isn’t keen on a reunion with Conte.
Inda claims the winger has indirectly communicated with Madrid that he ‘would never sign’ for the club if Conte was appointed.
