Zinedine Zidane’s Potential Return to Real Madrid: Uncertainty Surrounds Carlo Ancelotti’s Future

The future of Carlo Ancelotti at Real Madrid has become a topic of uncertainty, with speculation surrounding a possible departure or a contract extension. While some reports suggest Ancelotti may leave for the Brazil national team job, others hint at a potential extension with Los Blancos. Amidst this uncertainty, could Zinedine Zidane make a return to Santiago Bernabeu?

Zidane, who left Real Madrid in the summer of 2021, has remained out of management, patiently waiting for the right opportunity. Despite being linked with other top clubs, the Frenchman seems to be biding his time for the perfect role.

According to Mundo Deportivo, Zidane has decided to return to coaching next season and would be open to a third spell at Real Madrid if Ancelotti does not renew. Zidane maintains an excellent relationship with Real Madrid president Florentino Perez.

Zidane’s previous managerial stints with Real Madrid were highly successful, notably achieving a historic threepeat in the Champions League. With numerous domestic and international titles to his name, coupled with his legendary status as a player, Zidane’s potential return to the helm of Real Madrid could be a popular and welcomed decision if Ancelotti departs next summer.
