In the event of the departure of Carlo Ancelotti at the end of the season, the leaders of Real Madrid would not be interested in a return of Zinedine Zidane.
What future for Carlo Ancelotti? Linked to Real Madrid until June 2024, the Italian technician, much criticized in recent weeks, could well leave the White House at the end of the season. Indeed, it is said that the former coach of Paris Saint-Germain would have agreed to take over the head of the Brazilian selection during the off-season. He would have even already made it known to the Auriverdes internationals currently under his leadership.
Faced with this scenario, Florentino Perez would have already targeted his successor. According to information from Defensa Central, the Madrid boss has in mind a coach he has always liked and who he believes has the ideal profile to promote the new project he wants to build. It would be Mauricio Pochettino, without a club since leaving PSG at the end of last season.
While his name has been cited by some sources to take over from Carlo Ancelotti on the sidelines of the residents of the Santiago Bernabéu, Zinedine Zidane would therefore not be the priority of the Merengue decision-makers. Free of any contract since the end of the 2020-2021 financial year, the former number 10 of the Blues, who dreamed of taking over the French team after the World Cup in Qatar, would thus see a new door close.
