While waiting to be named head of the Blues, Zinédine Zidane has refused to manage major European clubs and important selections since his departure from the Real Madrid bench in May 2021. It is certainly not January 2025, a year and a half from the 2026 World Cup and the end of Didier Deschamps’ contract as coach of the France team, which he will return to service. Even as interim coach at Casa Blanca, with whom he won the Champions League three times in a row…
However, the improbable return of “Zizou” to Real is once again called for. “Warm up, Zidane! » In the middle of the final of the Spanish Super Cup between the Merengues and Barça, Sunday evening, the presenter of the Cadena Cope Paco Gonzalez announced the departure of Carlo Ancelotti: “Tomorrow you can leave your job at Real Madrid. Zidane is warming up, he is free. Losing the Super Cup is not a tragedy. You can take 7 or 8, too bad. But Ancelotti will be fired. Florentino (Pérez) has changed! »
Zidane, no (according to other sources)
The Blaugranas had just scored the 4-1 goal in added time of the first period, thanks to Alejandro Balde (45th + 10). Madrid’s rout continued in the second half: Raphinha increased the score after returning from the locker room by overtaking Aurélien Tchouameni (48th), then Barça was reduced to 10 with the exclusion of Wojciech Szczesny (58th) and Rodrygo scored on the free kick conceded by the Polish goalkeeper on Kylian Mbappé (60th). Despite this, the score remained at 5-1.
Contrary to what this famous radio presenter claims (Paco Gonzalez has his Wikipedia page), President Florentino Pérez has absolutely not changed his mind. The boss of Casa Blanca does not intend to land Ancelotti during the season to install an interim like Zidane while awaiting the probable appointment of Xabi Alonso. Monday afternoon, The Athletic assured that the leaders of the Spanish and European champion did not intend to change coach (nor recruit a new defender before the end of the January transfer window).
