At Real Madrid they believe that Zidane will continue at the helm. According to 'AS', the RM board haven't been in contact with any of the managers that would like to take over from him, such as Massimiliano Allegri, Joachim Low or Raul. They have faith that the Frenchman will continue as manager.
Everyone is asking where Zidane will be at the end of this season. His contract in the Spanish capital ends in 2022, but Madrid's exit from the Champions League raised questions about whether the Frenchman would continue at the helm.
Zidane responded to questions regarding his future in the press conference before RM's clash against Sevilla this Sunday. "I will make it very easy for the club, they have given me everything", he stated.
Words that give Real Madrid some hope, as the club don't want to think about his possible exit. They feel that they already have the best man for the job.
According to 'AS', Madrid have three options to replace Zidane if he decides to leave: Massimiliano Allegri, ex-manager of Juventus; Joachim Low, who will leave his post as Germany boss after the Euros; and Raul, coach of Madrid's reserve team.
However, this source explains that Madrid haven't made any moves in this regard. They haven't picked up the phone to ask about the status of any of these managers, nor any of their representatives. The reason? They have faith that Zidane will stay.
Once this season has finished, Zidane will speak directly with the board regarding his future. Real Madrid back their manager. This campaign, the Frenchman has taken his side to the semi-finals of Europe's top competition and they still aim to lift the La Liga title, even more so following the 0-0 draw at the Camp Nou between Barca and Atletico. More than sufficient achievements for 'Zizou' to renew his contract.
