Zidane, the return validated!

If Carlo Ancelotti leaves at the end of the 2023-24 financial year, Zinédine Zidane emerges as President Florentino Pérez’s favorite choice to replace him.

Real Madrid are facing an uncertain situation regarding the future of their coach, Carlo Ancelotti.

The Italian, whose contract with Casa Blanca expires in June 2024, is being courted by the Brazilian Football Federation (CBF), which wishes to appoint him coach of the Seleção. At the same time, the Madrid press is talking about a possible extension of Don Carlo’s contract. Indeed, the Spanish radio station Cadena Ser announced that Real Madrid would offer a new contract to Ancelotti, lasting one year plus an optional year.

However, if the former Everton coach were to leave the White House at the end of the season, Zinedine Zidane would be the favorite of club president Florentino Pérez to succeed him. He considers the arrival of Xabi Alonso, the current coach of Bayer Leverkusen, to be premature, suggested by several influential members of the Merengue management.
