Mauricio Pochettino and Joachim Low are also seen as options though the hierarchy at Santiago Bernabeu are concerned neither will be available to replace Zinedine Zidane
Real Madrid have added Athletic boss Ernesto Valverde to their managerial shortlist, according to Fichajes.net.
Concerns have arisen over Zinedine Zidane's suitability to manage the side long-term after los Blancos slipped 12 points behind Liga leaders Barcelona following their defeat to city rivals Atletico on Saturday.
And the hierarchy have drawn up a list of possible replacements, with Valverde's name included after impressing with the Basque outfit.
Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino is seen as an option but it is unlikely he will leave White Hart Lane, while Germany coach Joachim Low's future post-Euro 2016 remains up in the air, leading to interest from Real.
