Zinedine Zidane could be Carlo Ancelotti’s replacement on the white bench for next season.
What Zidane asks to return to Real Madrid.
Real Madrid still does not know who will be on its bench from next season and this is because Carlo Ancelotti has not yet given any certainty about a possible contract renewal. It expires next June 2024 and at this point, everything seems to indicate that the Italian will continue his career away from Valdebebas. The Brazilian National Team is one of the candidates to keep ‘Carletto’ and with one foot outside Madrid, Florentino Pérez has begun the search for a new coach.
The truth is that there are several names in the pipeline, since several media have not hesitated to bet on a change and point out as possible replacements Xabi Alonso (Bayer Leverkusen), the Italian Roberto de Zerbi (Brighton), the Argentine Lionel Scaloni (Argentine National Team), the transalpine Antonio Conte (without a team) or the Spaniards Raúl and Álvaro Arbeloa (both already working in teams in the lower categories). However, in the last few hours the possibility of Zinedine Zidane returning to the club where he managed to win everything has resurfaced.
According to what is reported from Defensa Central, in that list of possible replacements for Carletto there would also be room for another old acquaintance, Zinedine Zidane. The Frenchman has been without a team since, precisely, he put an end to his time as Merengue coach. Since then, the Marseille native has been linked with countless squads, but none of the proposals have managed to seduce him. Now, his return to Real Madrid could be a reality.
Zidane’s request to Florentino
According to Defensa Central, if Real Madrid contacts him, Zizou will make various requests. Among them, two stand out above the rest: that the signing of the French striker Kylian Mbappé (PSG) is completed and that the continuity of three members of the current squad is guaranteed, the full-back Ferland Mendy and the midfielders Toni Kroos and Luka Modric.
