Real Madrid’s rout against AC Milan in the 4e day of the Champions League (1-3 defeat) confirmed the sluggish start to the season for the reigning European champion. Despite the arrival of Kylian Mbappé, the great form of Vinicius Jr, the Madrilenians suffer during big matches, like the Clasico where FC Barcelona humiliated their rival (0-4).
A Zidane – Mbappé association?
After all these poor performances, Carlo Ancelotti, in office since 2021 for what constitutes his second stint in the Spanish capital, is more threatened than ever. According to Relief Spanish daily, the club’s management is seriously considering getting rid of the tactician, who has a contract until June 2026. At the end of this lease, moreover, the 65-year-old man was considering retiring.
If ever this retirement were to be premature, Sports World already cites several names to take over at Real Madrid. The first being that of Zinédine Zidane, but it remains to be seen whether the Frenchman is motivated to carry out his third stint, already, on the bench of the Madrilenians. The presence of Kylian Mbappé in the squad could convince the former number 10 of the Blues.

Another former glory of the club and reserve coach since 2019, management could give the Spaniard Raul a chance. This would also be the most serious option in the short term, since the other profile targeted by Real Madrid is that of Xabi Alonso, who currently plays for Bayer Leverkusen.
