Real Madrid are on the lookout for a new manager after Zinedine Zidane stepped down on Thursday afternoon, and there are a number of high profile names immediately in the frame to replace him.
GRAB THIS OFFER FROM CORAL!
Zidane won three successive Champions League titles at the Santiago Bernabeu, but quits ahead of a rather big transition that will now be undertaken by his successor.
Arsene Wenger is an obvious name to be linked, having been chased by Real a number of times during his 22-year reign at Arsenal and he can be found at 5/2 with Betfair. Zidane’s former teammate Guti is second favourite at 11/2.
Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino, who masterminded a 3-1 win over Los Blancos in the Champions League group stage earlier this season, could be a target after he was far from committal over his future recently.
If Antonio Conte leaves Chelsea this summer, he could be an option, while out of work coaches such as Luis Enrique, Frank de Boer and Laurent Blanc are viewed as outsiders.
Florentino Perez’s track record with managers has improved in recent years, but whoever takes over from Zidane must be given the time to implement his own style on the club.
