Real Madrid's defeat against Anadolu Efes, despite a late attempt at a comeback, may have been the final straw for the club’s sporting management. Speculation has been growing about Chus Mateo’s future as head coach, and recent reports suggest that his departure may now be imminent.

According to various sources, including journalist Alessandro Luigi Maggi from Sportando, Sergio Scariolo has emerged as a potential candidate to replace Mateo. Scariolo, a renowned coach with vast experience, has been hinted at as the front-runner to take over in the near future.

Real Madrid’s situation is dire both in the Euroleague and the Endesa League, with the team even losing its unbeaten streak at the WiZink Center following the defeat to Efes. While no major signings have been made to address the squad’s glaring weaknesses, Mateo has struggled to find solutions on the court.

Despite leading the team to a national treble last season, the start to this campaign has been starkly different. The disappointing defeat in the Spanish Super Cup against Málaga highlighted ongoing struggles, leaving many to wonder whether a change in leadership is the only way forward for the club.
