Zinedine Zidane, it's over!

Just six months after the incredible double achieved in La Liga and the Champions League, Carlo Ancelotti is in the hot seat. If the bad patch experienced by Barça allowed Real Madrid to come back on the heels of the Catalan club, the Merengue are on the other hand suffering in the Champions League where they are only 24e place in the ranking. Enough to make the future of the Italian technician uncertain.

According to the Madrid press, Florentino Perez would not hesitate to part ways with the most successful coach in the club’s history if the Madrilenians’ difficulties continue. The Madrid president has already listed three names for his succession, those of Raul Gonzalez, the current coach of Castilla, Santiago Solari, director of football within the Madrid club, and Zinedine Zidane, free of any contract .

Zinedine Zidane only thinks about the France team

But according to Don Balon, the management of Real Madrid would only like to entrust an interim mission to the lucky one with the deadline next summer. It will then be time to recruit another former member of the Madrid club: Xabi Alonso, currently at the head of Bayer Leverkusen. And if Raul and Santiago Solarai could accept a mission of a few months, with the hope of showing his value, Zinedine Zidane would have already refused, the Marseillais not wanting to play the firefighter on duty.

The former midfielder would have another idea in mind anyway: to sit on the bench of the France team to take over from Didier Deschamps.
