The Real Madrid he is officially left without a coach. Zinedine Zidane He has approached Valdebebas to say goodbye and the club has made his departure official through a statement. Is about his second exit as a white coach after 2018, the third if we take into account that of a player. However, it is not something that has caught the locker room or the board by surprise, who have been working on this stage for several weeks.
With Allegri out of the game (very close to the Juventus), there are two names that are gaining strength. The first is Raul, which has been in the race since the beginning. As this newspaper reported, the club has already spoken with him to ask him what his plan would be for next season, albeit informally. It is a house bet, but some members of the board believe that his time has not yet come and that he needs more experience.
The second on the list is Antonio Conte, which was not counted on a few days ago. His surprise departure from Inter has allowed it to enter the pools. He is a trainer with a lot of character and with a very strict work policy. In the club they debate whether it is necessary to bring a coach like him or look for a more conciliatory coach, following a continuity line.
In the last hours an old white desire has appeared: Mauricio Pochettino. It is about a coach who has always liked in the offices of the Bernabéu and that, just six months after his arrival at the PSG, is living its worst moment in France. He is in conflict with Leonardo, sports director, and this could precipitate his departure. Madrid does not lose track of him if he ends up leaving.
TO Raul, Conte Y Pochettino they are joined by a outsider that nobody counted on: Xabi Alonso. The Basque, who has had an excellent year with the subsidiary of the Real Society getting promotion to Second, is another coach who likes personality and knowledge a lot. Of course, he has the same problem as Raúl: his experience in the elite is nil and it might be a better option to wait a few years.
