Zinedine Zidane has decided not to return to Real Madrid for a third stint as manager, despite growing pressure on current boss Carlo Ancelotti.
This development was according to reports from Cadena SER.
Ancelotti’s position is under scrutiny following a fifth defeat of the season, which has left Los Blancos second in LaLiga, four points behind rivals Barcelona, and 24th in the Champions League.
Zidane, who won three Champions League titles and two LaLiga titles during his previous tenure, is unwilling to take on the role on a temporary basis until the end of the season.
The club is reportedly considering other options, including Raul, Solari, and Xabi Alonso, who may take over in 2025.
