Recently, Spanish journalist Jose Alvarez reported on El Chiringuito that coach Zinedine Zidane is the top candidate to replace Carlo Ancelotti. However, AS newspaper immediately corrected the above information.
Accordingly, the French military leader and Real Madrid leaders are negotiating to resume cooperation but there will be unexpected changes. Specifically, President Perez hopes to convince Zidane to return to the club in an advisory role, not as a coach as before.
Currently, Xabi Alonso is Los Blancos’ number 1 target to replace Ancelotti – who will likely leave the Bernabeu to lead the Brazilian national team in June 2024.
Real Madrid wants to reunite Zidane in a new role for many reasons, including supporting the team in the transfer area. The French coach has a pretty good relationship with Kylian Mbappe and can negotiate with the PSG striker in the 2024 summer transfer window. In fact, Zidane also really wanted to recruit Mbappe since he was Real coach. in the previous term.
Since arriving at PSG from Monaco with a contract worth 180 million Euros (the second most expensive in history), Mbappe has played better and better and is currently one of the best strikers in the world. Real Madrid’s lack of an attacking spearhead since parting ways with Benzema has made them very eager to have the 2022 World Cup top scorer in the squad.
Can Kylian Mbappe resist the charm of Zidane, whom he previously said was his first idol? The answer will likely be given at the next summer market.
