He watches all the matches and knows the players,\u201d Roncero added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Modri\u0107&#8217;s relationship with Real Madrid is about much more than simply being a former player.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He spent more than a decade at the club and became one of the most influential midfielders of its modern era.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Therefore, a future return would carry significant emotional importance, but it appears that Modri\u0107 wants his next chapter to be based on his footballing expertise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That is precisely why sporting management and a role on the coaching staff have emerged as two possible paths for him in the future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Real Madrid already have two possible paths in mind for Luka Modri\u0107 once the club legend eventually brings his playing career to an end, according to Defensa Central.
