Zinedine Zidane might leave his job as Real Madrid’s assistant manager to become Real Madrid Castilla’s coach. The French international is among the candidates to replace Jose Manuel Diaz Fernandez after the team has been relegated to the Spanish third division.
Zidane has long insisted he wants to start a career as a manager. In fact, he was expected to leave the Santiago Bernabeu this summer to take the job at Girondins Bourdeaux. However, Carlo Ancelotti seemed to convince him to stay one more season at his side, and Zizou told the press he wouldn’t leave this summer.
However, the fact that he will stay at the club doesn’t mean he will have the same role. Sources have reported that Florentino Perez has offered Zidane the job at Castilla, a young team that will fight to get back to the second division next season.
Perez has also confessed he would like to see Zidane some day as Los Blancos boss, and this could be the first step.
Nevertheless, Perez is also considering other options. Former Real Madrid defender Luis Miguel Ramis, who now manages the Under-19 team, has also been linked to the job thanks to his great results with his current squad.
