Real Madrid Sends Clear Message to Zinedine Zidane

On Sunday night, Real Madrid lost to Celta de Vigo (0-2) in La Liga, putting coach Xabi Alonso in a tough position. Several Spanish media outlets report that he may be at risk of losing his job during the crucial Champions League match against Manchester City this Wednesday. Meanwhile, El Mundo has revealed that the club is considering Jürgen Klopp and Zinedine Zidane as potential replacements if Alonso departs.

This information was denied this afternoon by AS. The Spanish outlet reached out to the club and reported that no one within the organization is currently considering a third stint for Zidane (53 years old) at the helm. Additionally, AS stated that Zidane has been in talks for several months with the French Football Federation to take charge of the national team. Therefore, a return to Real Madrid does not seem likely for Zidane, according to AS.
