The decision of Zinedine Zidane not to continue as coach of Madrid, after winning three Champions League consecutively, has caused the pools to open on who will be his successor. At the moment many names sound, while Florentino Pérez is silent.
MAURICIO POCHETTINO
Very fond of Florentino Pérez, it has sounded on several occasions as a future of Madrid. The problem is that he has just renewed with his club, Tottenham, and has no exit clause, so it would be quite difficult to get him out of the English team. On one occasion he has admitted that he would never train at Barcelona.
GUTI
A man of the house who has experience training the lower categories and who knows the club perfectly. It would be a continuation option (his profile is similar to Zidane's), but also risky due to his inexperience on the benches.
MAURIZIO SARRI
He has just left his post at the helm of Napoles after several successful seasons, although in Europe he has had discreet performances. Betting on a colorful and daring game and is a very strong technical character, which may clash with Madrid's locker room. It is not the favorite, but it can happen.
JOACHIM LÖW
Another coach that Real Madrid likes, but that is not easy to sign. He has been with the German national team for many years and is now focused on the World Cup in Russia. The Real Madrid bench may tempt him, but neither seems a likely option.
ARSÈNE WENGER
He just finished his journey at Arsenal after more than two decades and has played several times for Real Madrid in the past, but it seems that his time has passed. His last years in London have been disappointing and it would be surprising if Florentino opted for him.
JÜRGEN KLOPP
He has been in the pools for the white bench for years and his good season at Liverpool may have the key to Chamartín. It may be difficult to get him out of Anfield, but he may be tempted to land in Madrid.
ANTONIO CONTE
After a disappointing season he is predictably leaving Chelsea. Its biggest advantage is that it has proved capable of directing big stars in complex groups, but its character is very volcanic and could hit a lot in Madrid.
MÍCHEL GONZÁLEZ
He is free, he is from home and understands perfectly how Real Madrid works, but his recent failures in the bench have taken him away from the post. In fact, his last job was in a Málaga that has just descended to the Second Division.
LAURENT BLANC
He has not trained for a few years after leaving PSG and is among Chelsea's options for next season. He has a moderate profile that could fit very well in Real Madrid, although the truth is that his choice would be very surprising.
MASSIMILIANO ALLEGRI
It seems complicated that the Italian coach leaves Juventus, but his home profile and much with the philosophy of Real Madrid. He is a great group manager, used to winning and with very recent successes in his country. The hope for whites is that they may want a change of scenery.
