Malaga manager, Bernd Schuster looks likely to be on his way out of the club, after just one season in Andalusia with the directors heavily monitoring the situation Barcelona manager, Tata Martino to replace the German coach.
Malaga general director, Vicente Casado revealed earlier this season that their first choice to replace Manuel Pellegrini this past summer was then Newell’s Old Boys manager, Gerardo ‘Tata’ Martino and the two sides were close to coming to an agreement, but the Argentine stressed that he wouldn’t sign a contract until his team was out of the Copa Libertadores.
Newell’s reached the semi-finals, giving Barcelona the chance to swoop in and convince Martino to replace Tito Vilanova, while Malaga went back to the drawing board, eventually hiring former Real Madrid manager, Bernd Schuster.
However, due to Malaga’s poor form in recent weeks, along with rumoured conflicts between Schuster and several of the veteran players, the club could decided to part ways with the 54-year-old just a year into his five-year deal.
Yet, it seems that Malaga may yet get their man, as Martino appears to be on the outs at Barcelona with rumours of current Celta Vigo manager, Luis Enrique set to take over.
Malaga are said to be closely monitoring the situation and hoping to convince the Argentine to remain in Spain, before accepting offers in his home country.
Malaga are also rumoured to be keeping an eye on the situation of former Real Betis and current West Bromwich Albion manager, Pepe Mel, whose Premiere League adventure could come to a close after just six months.
Finally, should either of those options not come to fruition, Malaga are also considering former Porto manager, Paulo Fonseca to lead their youth-centric project.
