The Spanish television programme 'Jugones' says Madrid president Florentino Pérez has called Zinedine Zidane to urge him to return as coach.
Santiago Solari could be sacked as Real Madrid coach before Sunday's LaLiga clash with Real Valladolid, according to Spanish TV channel La Sexta, whose football programme 'Jugones' claims that club president Florentino Pérez is bidding to bring Zinedine Zidane back as boss.
Zidane willing to return in the summer, but not now
'Jugones' claims that Pérez has been in touch with Zidane - who resigned last May after winning one LaLiga title and three Champions Leagues in two and a half years in the Madrid dugout - to urge the 46-year-old to return to the Bernabéu. 'Zizou' is reported to have turned down the opportunity to take over at Los Blancos now, but is open to a summer appointment.
Madrid would give Zidane power over ins and outs
'Jugones', which identifies Zidane's fellow former Madrid coach José Mourinho as Pérez's other option to replace Solari, adds that Madrid are ready to give the Frenchman complete power over player signings and departures.

Is Perez really serious now? Look at what he, Perez has caused the team. A big disgrace to the team with his ill-informed manager, Solari. Can you imagine Real Madrid being beaten at home in the group of 16 match with Ajax. I have said it and will continue to say it, a manager does not make a team but the other way around, the team makes the manager. When the team is happy, you get a good result, and when the team is unhappy, bad result. Perez, you have made Real Madrid a laughing stock along with your manager who sees players like his rivals fighting over a girlfriend. Solari's attitude towards certain key players on the team that is what I am speaking of. I am too sorry the collateral damage has already been done. Solari should have been done with long since. When one comes with a preconceived mind about certain people, that person is doomed to fail. This is the case with Solari.

Firing someone who was 'forced' to hold the position. Solari coming from a B team and leading the dinosaurs of elite team since 4 months, I could just congratulate him for now. Zidane was smart enough to leave in time and I doubt he would come back with Mr. Florentino Perez still on his warm chair.

Zidane will be making the worst mistake in his career if he accept to return to Madrid. He made the best and timely decision when he left and so should not make the mistake of his career by going back just yet. Knowing when to leave something before the thing leaves you is super maturity and history record. Madrid real issue now is not the coach but the players who are tired and thus out of steam. They need to overhaul the team by like 70%. Even with Zidane back in the team, these same players will not still produce the needed results. Collins from Cameroon.

Zidane should be careful else that's when humiliation to his career as a coach will start. He should not get swollen headed with the UCL wins. Scholari won WC for Brazil but what happened to him later? Zidane should go to a club with less pressure to further improve his coaching and management skills. He was still quite learning when he was lucky to take over RM coaching job and was also lucky to have those galaxy of stars. A second stint with Real shall spell doom for him.

Florientino Perez gambling to continue as president as pressure loom from supporters. I think he shouldn't let zidane and CR7 to get out . For that, Madrid supporters should push him to step down.

Cruyff sported the #14 in his Ajax days, he was the first ever Ajax player to score against Real Madrid. Ajax UCL 2nd leg meeting against RM is the 14th time the 2 clubs met on the pitch. Ajax demolished Real Madrid 1-4... #coincidence #championsleague #ajax #realmadrid

Mr. Zinedine Zidane, I'm urging you please, not to retake the Real Madrid hotseat. You will be sacked later on. That's the history of Real Madrid. Try other challenges.

Why not perez being kicked out from RAM? His every single step on club just downing the performance. let his to be off with his honored and bring back Zidane as coach, Rodriguez, ozil n Ronaldo and give him (Zidane) freedom to run the club. Surely RAM would back with old form. Perez is real stupids here.

Talk is cheap.Ramos has now let the team down so he should be sacked.Some supporters re becoming ungrateful and a man like Perez can't be thrown away just like that.In the history of RM ,Perez is incomparable in terms of achievements.If we can suggest to him to step down that will be cool but to say sack him like nonentity smacks of bad faith.

That complete power Zidane wants when he was Madrid's coach but Perez ruled his request and made foolish decision in the history of Real Madrid or maybe in the history of Football. He let both Zizu & C.Ronaldo. Zidane asked Perez to sell Bale and keep C.Ronaldo but Perez did the opposite, he let C.Ronaldo go & keep Bale in. It was a lesson to learn for Perez that he's best in Business but not in football. Zidane knows the value of C.Ronaldo as a player and as a coach. He himself played football & was the one of the greatest in his time. Maybe know Perez realized that it was his mistake, Zidane might agree on to rejoin Real Madrid but only if they allow him to bring back C.Ronaldo, which is now almost impossible. You don't know the value of the thing until you lost it and this is what exactly happened with Real Madrid. They were too confident that they can win everything without Zidane & C.Ronaldo.

1. No world's class coach can sign for any big club at this time of the season, only if the club do agree with the coach's conditions. 2.If Zadine agrees to return to Madrid, he will be the highest pay coach in the world, if he should get sacked, as we all know nothing is impossible, meaning he might be walking away with not less then €25 millions alone. B. nobody should expect the same success from Zadine, maybe he's going to be better or more worst. I doubt it Zadine will return in summer, it will take another 5 years to see him return to Madrid.

It really surprises me how most RM fans despise their president Perez and do not give him any credit for what he has done for the club. This is an individual whist tenure has seen the club lift four UCL cups in five years yet the fans only talk about Ronaldo and Zidane. It really smacks of ungratefulness. He may have his fault last like all great CEOs and leaders do but at least they should give him credit and stop the daily atracks when things are off-course with their play.
