The shadow of Zinedine Zidane reappears over the Real Madrid bench, casting doubt on the stability of Carlo Ancelotti. According to various sources, Florentino Pérez would keep the French coach on his list of possible replacements if the team's performance does not improve in the coming weeks. Despite not coaching any team since his second exit from the white club, the close relationship between the Real Madrid president and the French coach could facilitate his return, a move supported by a large part of the Madridista fan base.
For Real Madrid fans, Zidane remains a highly respected and revered figure. In his last appearance at the Santiago Bernabéu, chants of "Zizou, Zidane, my idol" echoed in the stadium, making it clear the affection and trust that the fans still have for him. This show of support highlights the influence that Zidane maintains in the Madridista environment, a situation that inevitably adds pressure on Ancelotti.
There are many other contenders to replace Carlo Ancelotti
The current coach of Real Madrid faces a delicate moment. Although the club has confidence in him, any significant stumbles in the upcoming matches could trigger difficult decisions from the board. According to 'DefensaCentral', Florentino Pérez is also closely watching the performance of Xabi Alonso at Bayer Leverkusen, but at least until summer, the Basque would not be available to make the leap to the Madridista bench. This context keeps Zidane as a viable option for a short-term intervention.
For now, the team still has room to correct its course, but Ancelotti knows that mistakes at this stage could be irreversible in the future. The presence of Zidane as a replacement option generates constant pressure, leaving Ancelotti in need of immediate results to maintain his position.
