Potential Real Madrid Managerial Target Approached For New Job

On Monday afternoon, Real Madrid decided to portion ways pinch head Xabi Alonso aft conscionable six months successful charge, pursuing a disappointing 3-2 conclusion to arch rivals Barcelona connected Sunday.

Moments aft announcing Alonso's departure, nan nine confirmed that Alvaro Arbeloa would beryllium taking complete arsenic head of nan first team, replacing his erstwhile teammate astatine Liverpool, Real Madrid, and nan Spain nationalist team.

The wording of nan club's connection announcing Arbeloa has been wide discussed. The connection 'interim' was not used, nor was nan connection 'permanent'. Therefore, galore group person asked - is this a impermanent aliases fixed appointment?

It astir apt suggests location is nary contiguous unreserved to prosecute a caller manager. It is important not to make immoderate affectional decisions excessively soon. However, you would ideate that astatine immoderate point, nan nine would want an outer sanction to return nan job.

At nan moment, nan managerial marketplace is beautiful thin. So, location person not been galore names mentioned. One of nan fewer who person is erstwhile Borussia Dortmund and Liverpool head Jurgen Klopp, but he has appeared to rule himself out.

Zinedine Zidane reportedly adjacent to caller job

One different sanction that has inevitably been mentioned is erstwhile Los Blancos subordinate and manager, Zinedine Zidane. The 53-year-old has not been successful a managerial domiciled since leaving Real Madrid astatine nan conclusion of nan 2020-21 season, which was his 2nd managerial spell successful complaint of nan club.

So, pinch nan nine presumably needing a caller head astatine immoderate point, it was almost intolerable for location not to beryllium talk astir him being Alonso's imaginable imperishable replacement wrong nan fanbase and media.

However, it appears arsenic if Zidane is going to beryllium preoccupied. As per French outlet L'Equipe, nan French shot federation (FFF) person made nan first steps towards appointing 'Zizou' arsenic nan nationalist team's caller manager.

Last year, it was confirmed that Didier Deschamps would time off his station arsenic France head aft 14 years successful nan role, during which nan squad won a World Cup and nan UEFA Nations League, and was a Euro and World Cup finalist connected different occasions.

In their report, L'Equipe states that contempt nan desire of nan FFF president to hold until nan extremity of nan World Cup, nan federation are already moving connected nan imaginable presence of Zidane, including his imaginable backroom staff.

It appears arsenic if nan federation person concerns that if they hold excessively long, he could beryllium snapped up by personification other successful nan meantime. There is each chance that nan sacking of Alonso has played a portion successful their determination to enactment arsenic soon arsenic possible.

Truth beryllium told, it would beryllium rather a shame. If nan assignment of Alonso has told america anything, it is that being Real Madrid head is 80% astir managing group and egos. And location is cipher amended than Zidane.
