Zinedine Zidane, who led Real Madrid to three consecutive Champions League titles before resigning as manager last year, is reportedly ending his brief sabbatical to rescue his former club.
Sources told ESPN FC’s Graham Hunter that Zidane will replace Santiago Solari, who’s set to be dismissed after suffering back-to-back defeats to Barcelona and elimination from the Champions League round of 16.
Zidane is expected to have greater influence over signings and first-team matters, the sources added.
The Frenchman left Madrid in May, citing the need for “change.” Cristiano Ronaldo soon followed him out the door.
Zidane would be the third person to serve on Madrid’s bench this season after Solari and Julen Lopetegui.
Lopetegui was fired in October following an embarrassing 5-1 loss to Barcelona, prompting Solari’s promotion from youth coach to interim manager. Solari eventually won the permanent gig, but the honeymoon phase has worn out quickly thanks to shutout losses to Barcelona and a 4-1 collapse at home to Ajax.
