Zinedine Zidane has reportedly ruled out a third stint as Real Madrid manager, despite growing uncertainty over Carlo Ancelotti’s future, according to Cadena SER.
Ancelotti is under increasing pressure after Real Madrid suffered their fifth defeat of the season. The team sits second in LaLiga, four points behind Barcelona, and occupies 24th place in the Champions League rankings, a precarious position for advancing to the knockout play-off rounds.
Potential replacements for Ancelotti include Raúl, Santiago Solari, and Zidane, while the club is eyeing Xabi Alonso for a long-term appointment in 2025. However, Zidane is reportedly unwilling to take over on an interim basis until the end of the current season.
