Real Madrid Confidencial Florentino's Call After Losing to Arsenal Wasn't to Xabi Alonso
Florentino can't take it anymore and makes a call after the defeat against Arsenal for the Real Madrid bench, and it's not Xabi Alonso
The white team knows perfectly well that, looking ahead to next season, a debacle like what was seen against Arsenal can't happen again. This is because, even if they manage to come back in the match, things have to take a considerable leap in quality. However, the surprise for everyone was that Florentino Pérez immediately called a coach, but it wasn't Xabi Alonso.
In this case, we're talking about Zinedine Zidane, who could once again have the door open to manage the team. This, for many, could be a real surprise, as some want a considerable change in the team's playing structure. Nevertheless, it is one of the most logical and safe bets Florentino can make, given the general situation.
Zidane has a quite interesting track record as a coach and as a footballer that supports him as a soccer connoisseur. Additionally, the good relationship he has with the president positions him as one of the main candidates to return to the bench.
A Third Stage
Florentino's decision seems inclined to bring the French coach back to the bench for the third time, with the hope of changing the dynamics. Something that has already been seen in previous years to replace Ancelotti and ended with winning three consecutive Champions.
While there is a considerable number of fans who prefer to have Alonso leading the team, it seems quite complicated as of today. All this is because the Bayer Leverkusen team doesn't want to let go of who is the best coach in their history.
Right now, negotiations between the French coach and the merengue president could be taking place furtively. Even knowing that Ancelotti has one more year of contract, it seems that his cycle at Real Madrid would have concluded.
It's a Matter of Time
Whatever the decision by the board regarding who will sit on the bench next season, it only seems a matter of time to know it. Especially considering that they play what remains of the season in the matches of these coming months and any defeat is a death sentence.
