Almeria hope to appoint a replacement for sacked Coach Francisco before playing Real Madrid on Friday night.
Francisco’s services were dispensed with after the 5-2 defeat to Eibar made it eight games without a win and left Los Rojiblancos with only 10 points from 14 games, joint bottom of the Primera.
Juan Ignacio Martinez is said to be a favourite of President Alfonso Garcia, with Pepe Mel and Abel Resino also in the frame.
Mel would likely be out of the club’s price range, however, while Resino has long been linked with a post at Juegos Mediterraneos, AS note.
Los Blancos visit this weekend and technical director Andres Fernandez is understood to be seeking a Coach that fits the club’s profile and can get them out of their situation, with an appointment wanted before Friday.
