Regularly announced as a potential successor to Carlo Ancelotti at the head of Real Madrid, Zinedine Zidane could see this path disappear.
The trend seems to be confirmed: Carlo Ancelotti, at the end of his contract with Real Madrid next June, could finally extend the adventure. In any case, this is the will of Madrid decision-makers, Florentino Perez in the lead, the daily reported this Monday Marca.
If nothing is yet decided in the upper echelons of the White House, the president of the Merengue would still see Carlo Ancelotti, to whom he is very close, as the man for the job and would have no intention of going in search of a new coach for next season.
Ancelotti rather than Zidane, Perez’s strong choice
The Madrid media even adds that Carlo Ancelotti would be open to the idea of extending his lease for one or two additional seasons. Discussions could soon begin between the different parties, Florentino Perez not wishing to be overtaken in this matter, while the Italian technician is also coveted by the Brazilian federation.
Very bad news for Zinedine Zidane, without a club for more than two years and who would – very probably – have been interested in a third mandate at Casa Blanca. It must be said that few clubs in Europe are likely to bring the former number 10 of the Blues out of his inactivity, and Real Madrid is one of them.
