6 managers who rejected Real Madrid

#1 Arsene Wenger

Real Madrid have been behind Arsene Wenger for a really long time. Rumours have suggested that Madrid wanted the Arsenal manager multiple times and Wenger confirmed it beIN Sports earlier this year:

“When we built the stadium the banks asked me to commit for five years, the first time [Real Madrid called] it was inside the five years and I thought no I could not do that, that would betray my club. Real Madrid I think I turned down two or three times you know. It’s one of the teams I loved when I was a kid. I just felt that it was a very sensitive period for Arsenal. You are always tempted to go to Real Madrid because they offered me the chance to take control of the whole club. At the end of the day, I said no once, twice. I turned so many clubs down you could believe it. At the end of the day, I was happy where I was as well.”

Wenger is without a club now Real Madrid are without a manager – is this the time they finally get together?
