Real Murcia president Victor Galvez has seemingly confirmed that Guti will take over the vacant managerial post at Real Madrid.
Madrid are on the lookout for a new boss after Zinedine Zidane resigned just five days after leading the club to a third successive Champions League title last month.
In his statement he said, “Guti will be the coach of Real Madrid so he won’t coach Murcia. I wish Zidane had stayed for two more days so that we could’ve completed the deal for Guti.”
Guti made 542 appearances for Real Madrid during a 14-year career at the Bernabeu, helping the club to 15 trophies including five La Liga titles and three Champions League crowns.
