Sport : who will take over as Real Madrid coach ?

 

Football fans in general and specifically real madrid fans are waiting for real madrid to announce who can take over.

Antonio Conte, Raul and Massimiliano Allegri are the top candidates to replace him. 

Zidane left all the leagues with empty pockets after he had played an unlucky season as real madrid fans say.

"How am I going to tell my players that I am going now? It's a lie," he said after a 1-0 win at Athletic Bilbao. 

"I'm focused on this season. There is a game left and we are going to give everything. I only care what happens in this finale," he said at the time.  

But, perhaps tellingly, he added: "The rest, we will see at the end of the season."

The announcement marks the end of Zidane's second spell in charge of the Spanish giants.

The 1998 World Cup winner first took the helm in January 2016 and guided Real to the 2017 La Liga title and an unprecedented hat-trick of Champions League titles before abruptly quitting on May 31, 2018.

He returned in 2019, winning a second La Liga crown in 2020 and the Spanish Super Cup. 

Zidane could take another break from football but he has been linked with taking charge of the French national team and Juventus, where he spent five years as a player.

However Didier Deschamps is likely to remain France coach until the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, barring a disastrous performance at the European Championship that kicks off next month.
