The Athletic newspaper revealed that French legend Zinedine Zidane is ready to return to Real Madrid for a third term, at any time requested by the Meringue administration, specifically in the event of the departure of Italian Carlo Ancelotti for any reason.
The newspaper said that what could attract “Zizou” the most, is that he received a new offer from the “royal”, after he had previously worked twice in the “Santiago Bernabeu”, during which he achieved historical achievements, provided that the return is under good conditions.
The newspaper added: This means that Zidane no longer cares about coaching clubs, after the dream of coaching his country’s national team evaporated, following the renewal of Didier Deschamps until the “World Cup 2026”, and that he does not think of any team, but rather his desire is limited to 3 clubs: Real Madrid, the maker of his glory. A player and a coach, followed by the Italian Juventus, in which he spent his best days as a player, and the French Marseille, which represents his first love and his hometown.
Zidane had previously refused to train in the Premier League, primarily because of the language.
Goal.com stated that no one imagined that the legendary star would succeed in leading Real Madrid, during his first term, towards historic achievements, when he replaced Spain’s Rafael Benitez as technical director. A veteran technician, and if he surprised everyone with unprecedented successes, no one could imagine them, when he won the Champions League three times in a row, to be ranked among the best coaches in the history of the Royal Club.
His second term was not as fruitful as the first, as he contented himself with winning the “La Liga” and “Spanish Super” championships, and the circumstances during this period were completely different from his first term, and despite that he did a great job in it.
The site said that although Ancelotti achieved successes after Zidane’s departure, and in turn led the team to win the European Champions League and “La Liga”, Real Madrid appeared in his era more “fragile”, which made rumors abound recently, and talked about the possibilities of getting rid of him. With the end of the season, if he did not win a major championship, “La Liga” or “Champions League”, and the rumors coincide with rumors of Zidane’s return to the leadership of “Al-Mirenji” in a third term.
