The recent presence of Zinedine Zidane with his wife in the stands of Santiago Bernabeu did not go unnoticed…
Real Madrid are going through a particularly turbulent end to autumn. Consequence of the crisis of results facing Xabi Alonso’s troops. Because if the Madrilenians were somewhat reassured on Sunday by dominating Alaves, the two defeats conceded in succession against Celta Vigo (0-2) in La Liga and against Manchester City in the Champions League caused a lot of turmoil.
For many observers, the setback against the Citizens should have sealed the fate of Xabi Alonso, who arrived last summer with the Merengue but was already heavily contested. Florentino Perez and his teams would still have had to find the person capable of succeeding the former midfielder.
Several names were mentioned, including that of Zinedine Zidane. Despite his probable appointment as head of the Blues at the end of the next World Cup, the Madrid president was ready to offer him a six-month freelance contract. And the rumor was all the stronger as the Marseille native was present at Santiago Bernabeu in the presence of his wife on Wednesday to watch the clash against Manchester City.
Fabrizio Romano denies
His presence obviously did not go unnoticed and many supporters deduced that ZZ was ready to write a new chapter with Real. “I get a lot of questions about Zidane, said transfer specialist Fabrizio Romano on this subject. Zidane was at the Bernabeu, he has excellent relationships with everyone at Real Madrid. But, from what I understand, currently, there is nothing concrete. Zidane has not started talks with Real Madrid to replace Xabi Alonso. »
“There is a verbal agreement with the French federation for 2026 to replace Deschamps. Zidane will be ready to be the new coach after the World Cup. But Zidane who is at the Bernabeu for Real Madrid-Manchester City does not mean that he will be the new coach of Real Madrid. he continued, thus putting an end to the rumors regarding the 1998 Ballon d’Or.
