Allegri to succeed Zidane

Once Zidane's intention to leave the Madrid bench is known when the season ends, it only remains to know who will occupy his position. As AS has learned, at this time the club is debating between the continuation option of Raúl or starting a new project with Massimiliano Allegri. Madrid wanted to be very respectful towards Zidane and, in neither case, neither with Raúl nor with Allegri, had they raised the situation openly. However, in the case of the Italian, this newspaper is in a position to affirm that there have been contacts that anticipated a possible departure from the French. Allegri, who has been withdrawn from the activity for a season by his own decision after his experience at Juventus, was delaying responding to two offers from leading teams in Europe waiting on the Madrid bench.

Until a week ago, Raúl's representative, Ginés Carvajal, had not had any conversation with the Real Madrid leaders that made him think that the first team bench was going to be released. In fact, as is known, the mythical 7 has a firm offer to go to train in the Bundesliga from the hand of Eintracht Frankfurt. What's more, in the German team's dressing room there are players who have been told that Raúl will be their coach next season. This extreme is not confirmed. The best option for Raúl is to catch Madrid's first team now. An adventure abroad can reassure you, or be a setback in your career.

Like is logic, Allegri is delighted with the idea of ​​training Real Madrid. People close to the white club have been those who contacted him directly to know their availability. For Madrid, the Italian's option seems the best if Raúl continued at Castilla. In this way, if things went wrong with the Italian there would always be a plan B. Raúl's, which would be a move similar to the one Florentino chose when he put Zidane on the bench without having experience in the elite. But first, he would have given the renewal project in which there will be important names like Haaland or Mbappé to a coach with proven solvency in the elite who, moreover, he already tried to sign only a few years ago.
