Zidane awaits the call: knocks out Real Madrid and confirms his next team
The French coach, Zidane, was one of the names rumored to take over at Real Madrid, but after Ancelotti’s renewal, he has made a crucial decision about his future.
It was an open secret, but it has finally been confirmed that Ancelotti will continue as the coach of Real Madrid. He has renewed for another 2 seasons, until 2026, allowing him to stay at the helm of the project.
The Italian had already made it clear in a press conference that he intended to wait for Real Madrid until the end, and Florentino knew that there was currently no better coach for the job.
This puts an end to all the rumors about who could take over the Real Madrid dressing room, with Xabi Alonso as the front-runner but not forgetting Zidane or Raúl.
Precisely, the Frenchman is one of the most affected by the news. It seemed that if Leverkusen didn’t let Xabi Alonso leave, Zidane would be the one to assume the position, an option that seemed feasible.
However, with the announcement of Carletto’s continuity, Zizou remains without a team, which has forced him to move quickly as he has not been coaching since leaving Real Madrid.
New projects for Zidane Now that it has been confirmed that he cannot be the coach of Real Madrid, at least in the short term, Zidane already has a new project in hand. He will focus on becoming the French national team coach.
He believes that a door may open for him after this summer’s Euro, and if France does not perform well, it could mean Deschamps’ replacement, and he wants to be considered if there are opportunities.
