Real Madrid are now suspended on Zinedine Zidane’s decision whether or not to continue at the helm of the Merengues. This time, unlike 2018, White House leaders were able to anticipate.
End clap for the season of Real Madrid… And for Zinedine Zidane? This is the question that everyone now in the Spanish capital, after the outcome of La Liga. Zidane could indeed have led his last match at the head of the Merengues, a victory against Villarreal (2-1), which was not enough to deprive Atlético de Madrid of the title.
After the meeting, without much surprise, Zidane kicked in touch on his future. “First of all, I want to thank the supporters who have always supported the team. We can be proud of the players, they gave everything tonight, replied the 48-year-old technician. Later and in peace, I will speak with the club… We will see what will happen shortly. And not just about me, with everything the club is going to do for next season. “
Not the same situation as in 2018 …
It is therefore the hot issue that will animate the next few days at Real. Will Zidane choose to go through with his contract, which runs until 2022? Or, as in 2018, will “ZZ” decide to leave the White House, to take a rest or join another club? We remind that Juventus makes him the soft eyes …
For Real, the difference is that Madrid leaders are warned. Three years ago, no one anticipated the fact that Zidane would leave the day after the third consecutive Champions League coronation. This time, Florentino Pérez and his staff had time to think about the name of Zidane’s successor. Even if the priority remains to keep Zidane, the Massimiliano Allegri slope has been explored and, above all, Raul Gonzalez Blanco stands ready.
In 2018, Julen Lopetegui was chosen, leaving the Spanish selection just before the World Cup.Read also: Liga: Matchday 38
