| Sven To Madrid.
From: BBC.co.uk/Sport
Arturo Baldasano has claimed that if he wins the Real Madrid presidential election on 2 July he will install Sven-Goran Eriksson as manager.
Eriksson will step down as England boss after the World Cup and would succeed Juan Ramon Lopez Caro at Real.
"My team have spoken with Eriksson and he has given a commitment that if I win the election he will come and coach the team," Baldasano told Radio Marca.
"He's an important coach with the right kind of characteristics to do well."
Baldasano also said he wanted to bring more Spanish players into the side and that he was targeting Real Betis winger Joaquin and Arsenal forward Jose Antonio Reyes.
Lawyer and economist Baldasano lost heavily to former president Florentino Perez in the 2004 election.
The current election was called after Fernando Martin was ousted in April.
