Recently, the news that Lorenlentino decided to extend his contract with Carlo Ancelotti for another two years has been acquiesced by Real Madrid's officials, which means that the Italian will not go to the Brazilian national team to coach after the summer of 2024.
The previous news that the Brazilian Football Federation has dealt with Ancelotti is of course true, and there is only one reason, that is, Real Madrid is quite dissatisfied with the state of the team. The manager just got a job offer that could be linked seamlessly, but An Shuai's love for Real Madrid is unique. Do you remember when he had to return to the Bernabeu when he paid out of his own pocket and the toffees terminated the contract?
An Shuai has led Real Madrid to quietly achieve reconstruction!
With a group of young talents such as Bellingham and Vinicius maturing and the team's record being consistent, Florentilo realises that Ancelotti's importance is hard to replace. Therefore, it is likely that the signing of this contract extension will be completed and officially announced after Christmas, and the rumored return of Zidane is tantamount to the end.
Previously, Zinedine Zidane, Xavi Alonso and Jose Mourinho were the top three candidates for Real Madrid manager
For Zidane, he has long accepted the reality that he will not be able to replace Didier Deschamps as the manager of the French team, so he is ready to return to the Bernabeu after weighing the pros and cons. However, things always change unexpectedly, and objectively speaking, Zizou wants to continue his coaching career smoothly and return to Real Madrid is the first insurance option, while the French team is the second choice.
Now that both options are closed, making a bold third choice is the thing that must be decided now. Because he has been resting for too long, if he still insists on rejecting the olive branches thrown by the major clubs, I believe it will be difficult for him to adapt to the current football environment.
We can refer to Pep Guardiola's predecessor Rijkaard at Barcelona, who knows the cycle of history? Once you have been away from the head coach for too long, it is extremely difficult to suddenly find a suitable platform for yourself to start over.
Barca's coaching experience has become Rijkaard's only shining experience
Where did Zidane continue to coach? My suggestion is that the Premier League is a huge opportunity for Manchester United and of course an unprecedented challenge. Ten Hag has turned the Red Devils into a pseudo-giant that everyone can spit on, and with new management all in place in the near future, replacing the Dutchman is unstoppable. And according to legend, Zinedine Zidane is one of the replacements, but it is just said whether the Frenchman is willing to take over the job.
It is also reported that Samba Football has already regarded Mourinho as the first choice after losing Carlo Ancelotti, because the latter's contract with Roma is also due for next summer, but Roma City have decided not to renew his contract.
To sum up, the only option left for Zidane is Manchester United. But do you think that the metaphysical coach will willingly take over this already tattered aircraft carrier?
