Carlos Ancelotti is the favourite to join Real Madrid as the next manager

Florentino Perez would like to join Zinedine Zidane as assistant to Carlo Ancelotti. Eager to find a role closer to the ground, Zizou has not had the opportunity because of Mourinho. The two men know each other pretty well also, Ancelotti has had the 1998 world champion under him at Juventus (1999-2001). Remains to be seen whether he will accept to share his duties with an ambitious Zidane.
