Real Madrid face Premier League competition for managerial targetReal Madrid are likely to be in the market for a new manager this summer, amid doubts over Alvaro Arbeloas continuity. The 43-year-old, who was promoted from Castilla upon Xabi Alonsos departure in January, has had an inconsistent time in charge at the Bernabeu, and although he has the players on his side, there are concerns about him from the clubs hierarchy.The likelihood is that Real Madrid would opt for an experienced campaigner in the event that Arbeloa is not retained. Jurgen Klopp is their dream candidate, but he has reservations about returning to management at this time, which is why others are being considered by Florentino Perez and co.One of those being eyed is Mauricio Pochettino, whose contract as head coach of the United States national team ends after this summers World Cup. However, it has been reported by MD that Real Madrid would face competition from Tottenham Hotspur, whom the Argentine was previously in charge of between 2014 and 2019.Tottenham are looking for a new permanent manager, with Igor Tudor not expected to be retained upon the expiry of his spell as interim head coach. Pochettino is their top target, and they believe that the sentimental lure could be enough to beat Real Madrid to his signature in the summer.Real Madrid bosses have a big decision to makeIt is crucial that Real Madrid get their next managerial appointment right. Alonso looked like a safe bet last summer, but he struggled to get the players on-side during his tenure, and that led to his downfall. Arbeloa has appeared to master this already, but his tactics have been questionable, and its led to a number of poor results, including defeats to Albacete, Osasuna and Getafe.It remains to be seen which way Real Madrid go, but if a new manager is wanted, Pochettino would be an attractive option.

The WNBA and its players union met again Wednesday for a second lengthy negotiating session over a new new collective bargaining agreement.The two sides ended a 12-hour negotiation at 5 a.m. EDT Wednesday without reaching a deal. They started talking again in the afternoon, and discussions stretched past the eight-hour mark.Union executive director Terri Carmichael Jackson said Wednesday morning that there were a lot of conversations going in the right direction.WNBA Commissioner Cathy Engelbert came out of the hotel where negotiations took place to talk to reporters briefly.Its complex, but were working towards a win-win deal like weve been saying, transformational deal for these players. That balances all the things weve been trying to balance with continued investment by our owners, she said. So, were working hard towards that and still have work to do.Executive committee members Nneka Ogwumike, Breanna Stewart, Alysha Clark and Brianna Turner once again were at the hotel with Jackson and the union staff. The league was represented by Engelbert, head of league operations Bethany Donaphin and New York Liberty owner Clara Wu Tsai. Connecticut Sun president Jen Rizzotti joined the negotiating team on Wednesday.Neither side left the hotel during the marathon bargaining session. A day later, both sides were outside during breaks enjoying an unseasonably warm mid-March day in Manhattan.The sides have been exchanging proposals during the bargaining sessions over the last two days, a person familiar with the negotiations told The Associated Press. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the discussions.In proposals over the last 24 hours, the league has increased its salary cap offer in the first year to $6 million up from $5.75 million in previous negotiations, the person said. Last year, the salary cap for each team was $1.5 million. Average player salaries were $120,000 last year, and that figure stands to increase fourfold.Revenue sharing and housing are key sticking points between the sides, as well as assigning a franchise tag to a player and benefits for retired players.The league had said that at least a handshake agreement on a labor deal would need to be done by Tuesday to start the season as scheduled.Weve got to get this deal done. Weve got to get it done soon, said Engelbert, who didnt take questions from reporters.When a deal is reached in principle, the league has said it would need a few weeks to finish off the CBA. After that work is done, the expansion draft for new franchises in Portland and Toronto would be held sometime between April 1-6, according to a timetable obtained by the AP.Free agent qualifying offers, including franchise player tags, would be sent out April 7-8. Teams would then have three days to negotiate with the more than 80% of players who are free agents. The signing period would take place from April 12-18.Training camps would open the next day and the season would be able to start on May 8.But for any of that to happen, the two sides have to figure out a revenue sharing model. The unions proposal from a week ago had asked for an average of 26% of the gross revenue revenue before expenses over the course of the CBA. That would include only 25% in the first year. The league has said that number was unrealistic.The WNBAs last few proposals have offered more than 70% of net revenue, with that number going up as the league continues to grow.___AP WNBA: https://apnews.com/hub/wnba-basketball
