Madrid looking at potential Zidane replacements?

Real Madrid are reportedly still unsure whether Zinedine Zidane will be in charge next season and have started lining up possible replacements.

The Frenchman is in his second spell at the Bernabeu, having been reappointed March 2019 following Santiago Solari and Julen Lopetegui's disastrous tenures.

Zidane won the La Liga title last season, but Los Blancos are six points off the pace this time around and were eliminated from the Copa del Rey by Alcoyano in January.

Marca claims that the 48-year-old is aware he could be out of a job in the summer if the campaign ends trophyless, placing added significance on next month's Champions League quarter-final with Liverpool.

The same report suggests that the Spanish giants are already looking at viable contenders to succeed Zidane, who has one year to run on his contract, in one of world football's top jobs.

France and Juventus are believed to be monitoring Zidane's situation as both sides contemplate their own managerial changes in the future.
