Real Madrid presidential candidate Arturo Baldesano claims Sven-Goran Eriksson has agreed to become the club's new head coach, subject to the result of next month's elections.
Baldesano is among the contenders to take charge at the Bernabeu after the July 2 elections, and he wants to bring Eriksson to Madrid, to work alongside Vicente del Bosque who would become director of football.
Launching his campaign, Baldesano told Radio Marca: "My team have spoken to Eriksson and he has given a commitment that if I win the election he will come and coach the team."
Eriksson, 58, will leave his current post of England coach after the World Cup finals, and he has been often linked with the Madrid job.
Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger was linked with Madrid last week after former world rally champion Carlos Sainz, running mate of Juan Miguel Villar Mir, claimed the Gunners boss was their main target.
Former president Lorenzo Sanz, Juan Palacios and Ramon Calderon are the other candidates for the elections.
