The football community was shocked today by the news of Zinedine Zidane's departure from the Madrid "Real" club.
The legendary Frenchman, who won three UEFA Champions Leagues in a row and triumphed in the Spanish championship last season, announced at a press conference that he will not coach the team next season.
This surprised not only Real fans, but also many other football lovers, as last Saturday Z. Zidane lifted the Champions League trophies with the team.
After this unexpected news, the Real team is awaiting the search for a new coach. From the current market, there are no big prospects for the three-time European champions, unless Florentino Perez manages to reach an agreement with "busy" coaches.
The most realistic candidate to become the Real coach is still considered to be Mauricio Pochettino. The major problem is that the strategist recently signed a new contract with London's "Tottenham."
However, "Marca" believes that F. Perez will not initially consider other candidates and will try to negotiate with M. Pochettino and "Tottenham" first. There is no release clause in the Argentine's contract, so the Real president is convinced that due to good relations with Daniele Levy, they can reach a mutual agreement.
If Real fails to reach an agreement with M. Pochettino, Maurizio Sarri, who coached Napoli, and another club legend Guti, should appear on their radar.
It is said that Guti is even the second candidate on the list. Less likely options include Antonio Conte, Arsene Wenger, and Leonardo Jardim.
