Zinedine Zidane's position is known

Former Real Madrid head coach Zinedine Zidane is not planning to return to the Madrid club in the event of the possible dismissal of current coach Xabi Alonso, Cadena Ser reports.

According to the source, the management of the “Royal Club” is currently considering two other candidates for the position of head coach. It is noted that on Monday the board of directors held an emergency meeting, during which opinions were divided: some were in favor of the dismissal of Xabi Alonso, while others called for calm.

Let's add that Zidane led Real Madrid from 2016 to 2021. With the "Creamy" he won the Champions League three times in a row, became the champion of Spain and the Club World Cup twice, and also won the UEFA Super Cup twice. After leaving his post in May 2021, the French specialist has not been involved in coaching activities. Earlier, Defensa Central reported that Zidane will replace Didier Deschamps at the helm of the French national team after the 2026 World Cup.

Real Madrid are currently second in the Spanish league table with 36 points from 16 matches, four points behind leaders Barcelona. Xabi Alonso's team has won just once, drawn three times and lost once in the last five rounds of La Liga.
