Real Madrid Mulls Zidane's Return as Coach to Succeed Ancelotti - Is Xabi Alonso Out?

As Real Madrid looks for a successor to departing coach Carlo Ancelotti, there is speculation about Zinédine Zidane making a return. If Zidane were to agree to a third term with the team, it could mean that Leverkusen coach Xabi Alonso misses out on the opportunity with Real Madrid. Rumor has it that the Spaniard had been eyeing a position on the Madrid bench.

All good things come in threes. If journalist Jose Alvarez is to be believed, Real Madrid appears to be considering a third term for club legend Zinédine Zidane. As Alvarez explained on the television program "El Chiringuito," bringing back the Frenchman is a "very serious option" for club president Florentino Perez.

True, the departure of coach Carlo Ancelotti is not yet official. In fact, however, the Italian seems to have already been named Brazil's next national coach, and a departure from Madrid in the summer of 2024 is all but certain.

With the comeback of Zidane, one hopes for several things in Madrid: On the one hand, one looks back under "Zizou" to the most successful time in recent club history. The Frenchman won three Champions League titles in a row as head coach of the royals (2016-2018).

On the other hand, with this personnel, they are already looking ahead to next season. Then Kylian Mbappé is to finally move to the Spanish capital after years of back and forth. The two Frenchmen are said to have a good relationship. In Madrid, it is expected that the connection of the two will allow the 24-year-old superstar to settle in smoothly.

The renewed return of "Zizou" would also have consequences for Leverkusen coach Xabi Alonso. The Spaniard is repeatedly traded as a possible successor to Ancelotti.

The 41-year-old had a playing stint with Madrid from 2009 to 2014. According to recent speculations, the accomplished coach of Bayer Leverkusen may have an exit clause in his contract that would enable him to remain in the Spanish capital.
