Real Madrid already has its eye on the next season, which will be crucial to start making sudden changes both within the team and in the coaching staff. Players like Karim Benzema, Toni Kroos, Luka Modric and Dani Carvajal need serious replacements in their positions, although now the continuity of Carlo Ancelotti has also been questioned.

The Italian strategist will have to get a title during this season if he does not want to be fired in the middle of the year. The truth is that the continuous defeats against FC Barcelona have eroded the relationship between Florentino Pérez and 'Carletto', to the point that the board demands a trophy from him this season, be it the acclaimed Champions League or the Copa del Rey.

Meanwhile, in Valdebebas they know that they must have a replacement as soon as possible in case Ancelotti is fired from the White House. The truth is that there are several candidates, but the one they like the most is the Frenchman Zinedine Zidane, who already knows Real Madrid very well and who was able to raise three consecutive 'Orejonas'.

However, from Central Defense, they revealed the conditions requested by 'Zizou' to return to Madrid. The first two are about two footballers: firstly, he asked Florentino for the continuity of Eden Hazard, since he hopes to return him to his best level. And secondly, the hiring of Ryan Cherki, a 19-year-old star who plays for Olympique de Lyon.

What is Zidane's third condition?

Added to these two players, Zidane would have had a third request for the White House board, although this would be much easier to carry out than the others. The French strategist requested that Grégory Dupont be the new physical trainer for his team. Three conditions that keep 'Zizou' on the sidelines of Real Madrid.
