Five pressing issues the new Real Madrid manager will have to address

WHAT TO DO WITH EDEN HAZARD?

This probably the biggest issue at the moment. Real Madrid are open to the idea of parting ways with the Belgian as their priority is Kylian Mbappe. However, the club may provide Eden Hazard with a third chance to revive his career if the new manager has him in his plans.

Irrespective of his injuries and poor form, Eden Hazard is still a world-class footballer and every manager would want to have him in his squad. His luck at Real Madrid has been unfortunate after sustaining 12 injuries in just two seasons at the Spanish capital. The string of injuries has certainly infuriated the club’s hierarchy which is why Los Blancos are willing to go all out for Mbappe to help rebuild the attack.

Eden Hazard’s future is hinged on two possible situations: the new manager has the 30-year-old in his plans and is completely against the idea of selling Hazard to raise funds for Mbappe or Real Madrid cash in on the Belgian if he performs well at the Euro 2020 with Belgium and uses the money for Mbappe.

The Belgian is currently living on borrowed time at Madrid and his future could drastically change if Antonio Conte is appointed ahead of Mauricio Pochettino. Conte and Hazard worked together at Chelsea and the two got along well. The Italian could possibly get the best out of Hazard at Real Madrid as well if the club waits for his decision before making a call on Eden’s future.
