A former great Real Madrid player has spoken out in favor of a comeback for Zinédine Zidane at the technical helm of the team.

Guti, a Real Madrid icon, believes his club should consider bringing Zinedine Zidane back to the bench.

“Zidane has the right profile for Real”

Real must replace coach Carlo Ancelotti whose contract ends this season. And for Guti, the choice of the Italian’s successor is obvious.

Guti believes that a third term for Zizou could be the right solution, telling El Chiringuito: “I think that, if we look at the results, he is the best coach that Real Madrid has had in recent years. He knows the club, he knows Florentino (Perez, the president), he knows how things are done. He has the right profile for Real Madrid, like Ancelotti.”

Despite his successful stint at the Bernabeu, Zidane is not the first favorite to succeed Carletto. In the Spanish media, the name that appears most often is that of Xabi Alonso. An option also validated by Guti. “Yes, I think that Xabi Alonso also has the profile to coach Real”, did he declare.
