A coach from the school of Johan Cruyff, who uses rondos as his password, or a coach with the stamp of Jose Mourinho, who calls on his cavalry to play on the counter attack. A coach who admires Pep Guardiola, who strokes the ball around the pitch, or a master like Jurgen Klopp, who orders his teams to crush the opposition by pressing the ball.
A coach that defends the 4-3-3 system, a technician who opts for a 4-4-2 with a midfield wall to stop the opposition, or a manager who considers the 3-5-2 formation as non-negotiable, with three centre backs playing out from the back.
A coach that instils a military-like discipline, who watches over your diet and prohibits untimely trips away, who lives in Valdebebas, or an open minded trainer who doesn't establish an internal regime, who makes friends, and never compromises the team.
A Spanish coach, who controls the labyrinths of LaLiga Santander, who even knows the names of the referees, or a foreigner, whether he's Italian, Brazilian or German, who doesn't know who Emilio Butruagueno is.
A coach with in-house experience, who knows the aches and pains of the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu, who has seen videos of Jose Antonio Camacho and Gregorio Benito with their heads bandaged, or a coach who is alien to the organisation, who arrives with a clean outlook, who needs GPS to arrive in Spain.
A coach who has a lavish record, with several Champions League titles on the mantle, or a coach who has not won anything relevant, who has hunger in his belly, but has never managed an elite team.
A coach who can form nice paragraphs, who knows how to speak in public and is elegant, or a low profile coach, who does not remove his tracksuit except by obligation and who has not written newspaper columns or commentated on television.
A young trainer, on social media, who uses the latest mobile phone, who holidays in Formentera with celebrities or a veteran trainer, a gentleman with grandchildren who have to call him sir, who retreats to his town when the parties arrive.
A coach who accepts a six-month contract, who can adhere to the transfer situation without any problems, or a coach who wants two years, with the power to order around the dressing room and have the final say on comings and goings.
Pop music or rock music, Samsung or Apple, Netflix or HBO, John Lennon or Paul McCartney, LeBron James or Stephen Curry, meat or fish, Lewis Hamilton or Fernando Alonso, vinyl or CD, Lionel Messi or Diego Maradona. Anything goes. Why choose?
Real Madrid don't care. If you don't have a plan, look for another. Madrid want a coach. And to win. That is the model. For now, with Santiago Solari.

The coach of Madrid has long been a "delegate" of the president, who acts in a remote-controlled manner, selects the players who suggest him (including those who play by decree). Apart from that, he sows a good roll and optimism in the dressing room, he gives his face to the press and the case is the scapegoat. Seeker is sought, not very demanding or shouting, low profile, template type "Bethlehem" (many figures but none moves). Reason, The Boss Florentino.
