Real Madrid line up Wenger and Lippi to replace Del Bosque

EUROPEAN champions Real Madrid have approached Arsenal's Arsene Wenger and Juventus’ Marcello Lippi in the event they fail to reach a deal with Vicente Del Bosque.

Del Bosque’s contract expires in a month but his agent Pedro de Felipe said yesterday he was sure the two parties would reach an agreement.

“I'm sure Real won't go abroad for another coach,” de Felipe said.
