Former Real Madrid captain, Iker Casillas, has listed 10 managers that the club should have appointed instead of Jose Mourinho.

The LaLiga champions are expected to confirm Mourinho as their next manager, with Alvaro Arbeloa set to leave.

Arbeloa himself only replaced Xabi Alonso in January.

Casillas, who is a public critic of Mourinho, has now taken to social media to name coaches he believes Los Blancos should have gone for.

It includes Arsenal’s Mikel Arteta, Unai Emery who just won the Europa League with Aston Villa, Cesc Fabregas of Como and even Zinedine Zidane, who has coached Madrid twice in the past.

He tweeted: “Unai Emery, Kompany, Xabi Alonso, Cesc Fabregas, Arteta, Iraola, Zidane, Bordalas, Iñigo Pérez, Del Bosque.”
