Ancelotti's Future at Real Madrid is Complicated and Zidane's Return is near

Patience around Real Madrid is starting to wear thin. The recent defeat against Athletic Club has once again put Carlo Ancelott in the crosshairs of all critics . Constant questioning and doubts surrounding his future have led to several names being put forward as his replacement.

According to various media outlets, one of the most striking names is that of Zinedine Zidane. The Frenchman, like the Italian, has already had two spells as coach of Real Madrid . Although the information points to a possible return, the reality is that it is very difficult for Florentino Pérez to sack Ancelotti.

A Complicated Situation

With another defeat on the clock this season, Real Madrid's situation is worse than ever. Criticism of Ancelotti has ranged from his game plan to the late changes he made at San Mamés. The Italian's place has been put in doubt for the second half of the season as a result .

However, Florentino Pérez's faith in him remains strong. Despite the problems the team is going through, the president's support hasn't changed in the slightest . The best coach in the history of Real Madrid still has time to make up for the mistakes he made.

Although Zidane's return has been strongly rumored, this is a rather unlikely situation. The Frenchman himself hasn't given any indication of wanting to return to the dugout, much less to Real Madrid. Likewise, entering mid-season wouldn't be the best way to try to fix the club's situation .

Faith with Ancelotti

Last season also presented some problems for Real Madrid at the start of the season that were solved . Ancelotti, with all his experience, demonstrated his ability to solve even the most critical of situations.

Although this campaign hasn't been what Real Madrid fans expected, wanting Ancelotti to leave is not the right thing to do. Maintaining confidence is essential so that, in due time, Real Madrid can return to the strength of last season.
