Real Madrid plans to replace Zinedine Zidane with Mauricio Pochettino this summer, according to reports.
Former Tottenham boss Poch has a big fan in the form of Real Florentino Perez president, and the Argentinian boss has made it clear that he wants to return to management in the off-season.
According to The Independent, Bernabeu chiefs have asked to be kept informed of Pochettino’s intentions in case they want to replace Zidane.
Despite Los Blancos’ victory over 2-0 victory over rival Barcelona this weekend, there are still rumors of unrest behind the scenes at Real.
A 2-1 draw against Manchester City in the Champions League first leg match in the knockout stages last week has led to rumors that some players were unhappy with Zidane’s methods.
In his first appearance with the giants of LaLIga, Zidane won three consecutive crowns in the Champions League, the title of champion and two FIFA Club World Cups.
And the former captain of the France team resumed his duties last March after the club hierarchy failed to keep Pochettino from the Spurs.
Pochettino was eventually sacked and replaced by Jose Mourinho, but it is believed that he would like to manage Real after having previously suggested that he would never take the reins in Barcelona.
