Zinedine Zidane has reportedly emerged as the candidate eyed as a possible replacement for Carlo Ancelotti as Real Madrid manager.
Ancelotti’s role at Madrid has been the subject of intense discussion following the team’s humiliating 0–4 loss to Barcelona. Given Los Blancos’ rocky start to the season, many have questioned whether the Italian manager’s job is in jeopardy after the game.
Reports of potential replacements have begun to circulate due to the team’s poor performance, and Zidane has been mentioned as a name of interest.
According to Mundo Deportivo as reported by Madrid Universal, Zidane, who previously had a lot of success with the team, is considered a possible replacement in the event that Ancelotti’s circumstances worsen.
Despite the intrigue, the publication notes that it would be difficult to lure him back because the Frenchman is now more focused on someday being the manager of the French national team.
Zidane has a particular place in his heart for the Spanish giants, but his ambitions appear to be elsewhere. So it’s unlikely that he will return anytime soon.
