In recent years, Real Madrid has housed some extraordinary managers. Despite facing adversity, Carlo Ancelotti's accomplishments in his second term at Santiago Bernabeu are remarkable. This season, clinching the La Liga title seems highly likely, and Real Madrid are strong contenders for their 15th Champions League victory.
If Real Madrid secures the European title, it will mark Ancelotti's third triumph with the club. Zinedine Zidane stands as one manager who has already achieved this feat, doing so consecutively.
Interestingly, Zidane has been absent from coaching since his departure from Real Madrid in 2021. Surprisingly, it's not due to a lack of opportunities. Now, indications suggest the Frenchman might be ready to make a comeback to the touchline.
Bayern Munich is rumored to be considering Zidane as Thomas Tuchel's successor. However, according to L'Equipe (via The Sun), Zidane leans towards taking on the managerial position at Manchester United. While a language barrier might pose a challenge in England, it would be less pronounced than in Germany.
A Manchester United managerial role is sought after by a legendary figure from Real Madrid. It will be intriguing to observe Zidane's forthcoming endeavors. It appears he's contemplating a return to coaching, especially after an opportunity to lead the France national team didn't materialize.
Undoubtedly, Manchester United boasts a rich history and global appeal, despite recent struggles. Nonetheless, since Sir Alex Ferguson's retirement, no manager has managed to excel at Old Trafford. Therefore, it would be a daring undertaking for Zidane.
Securing victories at Bayern Munich may prove simpler, albeit less challenging. At this juncture, Zidane is likely drawn to roles that ignite his passion and enthusiasm.
