Neither Zidane nor Tuchel or Pochettino.. Florentino Perez chooses Ancelotti’s replacement at Real Madrid

It is increasingly clear to Florentino Pérez that Carlo Ancelotti’s second spell at Real Madrid is drawing to a close. The Italian arrived at the Santiago Bernabeu stadium as an emergency measure, after Massimiliano Allegri was refused, so even the most optimistic Madrid player would not have imagined that the season would end with the team celebrating the Champions League and La Liga crown.

Now, however, the feeling is the same again, with Real Madrid showing signs of weakness. The team played a very bad match against Villarreal, a defeat that set off all the alarms, to the point that the white club returned to work on finding a replacement for Ancelotti.

At first, Real Madrid tried the option of contracting with Thomas Tuchel, an experienced technical manager with a style of play that fits perfectly with the club’s style and will arrive for free, because he is currently out of work, after his dismissal from Chelsea.

Tuchel, Zidane, Pochettino…

Although Tuchel was not ruled out, Real Madrid explored other options. And the name of Zinedine Zidane was put on the table, who was unable to achieve his goal of taking over the French national team. It seemed that everything indicated that Didier Deschamps would cease to be the coach of the team after the World Cup in Qatar, but the coach’s contract was renewed, so Zidane would have no choice but to look for another team.

Florentino Pérez has always considered himself the best prepared, so he will not hesitate to give him the job again.

The third choice was Mauricio Pochettino, who like other coaches is out of work, after being sacked by Paris Saint-Germain last summer. The Argentine coach has been a potential on the Real Madrid bench for years, which he appreciates for his vast experience in elite football and the fact that he knows La Liga very well.

Raul Gonzalez, the main candidate to replace Ancelotti

Now, however, the name with the most votes to replace Carlo Ancelotti is Raul Gonzalez, who has finally managed to show that he’s ready to make the leap.

The former Real Madrid captain had a hard time impressing Florentino Perez, but his stellar season at the helm of Real Madrid Castilla did not go unnoticed by the president of the white club. The reserve team is on its way to promotion, after it has already collected 12 consecutive matches without losing, and with a very distinctive style of play.

Regarding this, Florentino Pérez highlights Raul’s knowledge of the young talents of the academy. The biggest goal for Real Madrid is for many pearls to reach the first team, and this will only be achieved with the presence of Raul on the bench.

Florentino did not like the fact that Real Madrid entered the La Ceramica stadium to confront Villarreal with a formation that did not contain any Spanish player for the first time in history, a topic that spread around the world and is far from the idea of ​​Real Madrid being one of Spain’s ambassadors to the world.
