The upcoming week promises a tense schedule for the Madrid team "Real" - the winners of the UEFA Champions League are left without a coach. Zinedine Zidane announced his resignation from the head coach position yesterday. The legendary Frenchman, who led "Real" to the top of the Champions League three times in a row, motivated his decision by saying that he "feels the team needs changes." After this decision, the list of candidates immediately surfaced - starting from Mauricio Pochettino and ending with Arsene Wenger. "Marca" claims that Florentino Perez contacted Mauricio Pochettino on the same evening. The head of "Real" wanted to hear from the Argentinean how strong his desire to work at the club is. However, Mauricio Pochettino, who has been on Real's radar for over a year now, signed a new contract with Tottenham last week, which complicates his chances of becoming the coach of the Spanish capital's team. "Marca" notes that there is no specific release clause in his contract, but the coach has an agreement with Tottenham's management that he will be allowed to leave if he wishes. The same source claims that F. Perez's representatives also approached the head coach of the German national team, Joachim Low. He has also been linked with "Real" for many years, but like his colleague from Tottenham, he recently signed a new contract with the country's federation.
