Insider Fabrizio Romano commented on social media regarding speculations about Zinedine Zidane's potential return to Real Madrid.
Xabi Alonso's job is in jeopardy ahead of the crucial La Liga match against Alaves, as the result of the game could cost him his position. Zidane, who has been without a coaching job since leaving Real Madrid in 2021, is named as the main candidate to replace him.
Nevertheless, according to Romano, the club has not contacted the French specialist about his possible return at this time. The name of Jurgen Klopp had also previously circulated in the press as one of the potential successors to Alonso.
Alonso took over the team in June, replacing Carlo Ancelotti, who had worked at the club for four years. During his time at Real Madrid (2016–2018 and 2019–2021), Zinedine Zidane led the team to the Spanish league title twice and won the UEFA Champions League three times.
