Real Madrid identifies two potential post-retirement roles for Luka Modric

Real Madrid is considering potential future roles for midfielder Luka Modric following the eventual end of his professional playing career. While Modric currently plays for AC Milan, he has expressed interest in returning to the Spanish club if he can provide a substantive contribution rather than serving as a ceremonial figure. Journalist Tomas Roncero suggests the former Madrid player possesses the tactical knowledge and analytical interest in global leagues required to move into a staff position. Specifically, the club may look to integrate Modric into its technical coaching staff or its sporting management department. The Croatian midfielder spent over a decade with Real Madrid and remains closely linked to the club’s modern history.
