The Portuguese coach, Andre Villas-Boas, is the latest name to be linked with the hot seat at Real Madrid which has recently been vacated by Zinedine Zidane. According to RMC Sports, Villas-Boas, who is without a club at the moment after leaving Shanghai SIPG, has been sounded out by Real Madrid president Florentino Perez in his search for a new coach.
Villas-Boas, 40, has turned down various offers since leaving the Chinese Super League team. He's instead dedicated time to his family and, another of his passions, motorsport. He even participated in the last Dakar Rally.
