<p>After taking a few days to consider his future, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/real-madrid-zinedine-zidane-is-on-juventus-radar-to-be-their-coach-next-season-report-20210511-0008.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Zinedine Zidane</strong></a> (48) announced his resignation as Real Madrid coach effective immediately on Thursday morning. In a statement, Real Madrid addressed the situation citing: “It’s time now to respect his decision and show our appreciation for his professionalism, dedication and passion for all these years, and for what he represents for Real Madrid… He knows that Real Madrid is and always will be his home.”</p>
<p>Anyone who says Zinedine Zidane’s time at <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/real-madrid-t23" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Real Madrid</a> was not a success is the world’s biggest cynic. Zidane, with little coaching experience but a big name in world soccer, took over in 2016- 2018, and again in 2019 – 2021. In total <strong>Zidane won 11 championships at <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/how-many-titles-have-real-madrid-won-20210521-0014.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Real Madrid</a> as coach, including three Champions League titles.</strong></p>
<p>Despite that, Zidane would often be on the hot seat when Real Madrid had moments where the club was not performing, nonetheless he still had a 60% winning percentage at the club in his second stint. <strong>Now with Zidane moving on here are three names that according to ESPN could step in to fill the void left behind by Zizou.</strong></p>
<h2>Mauricio Pochettino</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">

<p></p></div>
<p>The Argentine coach is currently at PSG, but in recent hours has been linked to both the Real Madrid job and a dramatic return to Tottenham. <strong>Pochettino</strong> has only recently took over PSG and it would be strange for the club to let him go so quickly.</p>
<h2>Antonio Conte</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="412" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:412" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20210527_BUS_171381_antonio_conte_1_crop1622125545317.jpg_22069893_c436d5e8.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=412" width="740" height="412"></figure><figcaption>    Antonio Conte (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>Let’s be frank, <strong>Antonio Conte</strong> is on every big club’s list if they need to fill a coaching position. Antonio Conte has a big team resume having coached Italy, Chelsea, and Juventus. He is also on the short list of candidates for the Barcelona job if Ronald Koeman is let go, which would set up an interesting “war” between the Spanish rivals.</p>
<h2>Raúl</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="412" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:412" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20210527_BUS_171381_raxl_crop1622125418813.jpg_22069893_fc9742de.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=412" width="740" height="412"></figure><figcaption>    Raúl (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>Sources in Spain continue to mention legendary striker <strong>Raúl</strong> as the man who will take over Real Madrid. Just like Zidane, Raúl has been coaching the club’s youth divisions and could step in to guide the team next season.</p>

Three candidates who could replace Zinedine Zidane at Real Madrid - Bolavip US

<p><strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/barcelona-ronald-koeman-s-job-could-be-at-risk-as-the-club-has-been-in-contact-with-a-coach-la-liga-20210513-0008.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ronald Koeman’s time at Barcelona may be coming to an end</a>, 15- days to be exact</strong>, according to various reports out of Spain. Koeman has been in charge of Barcelona for less than one year, and his first season was seen as a complete disaster.</p>
<p><strong>During Koeman’s watch, so far, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/barcelona-t11" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Barcelona</a> suffered various big game defeats against Juventus, Real Madrid, and an early exit from the Champions League.</strong> Despite a late season run the club did not win the league and only was able to win the Copa Del Rey this season. Ronald Koeman also had to cope with the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/barcelona-ronald-koeman-tells-luis-suarez-arturo-vidal-ivan-rakitic-samuel-umtiti-they-wont-be-needed-20200825-0002.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“Messi Gate ”</a> situation which in the view of public opinion, the club were the villains.</p>
<p>According to TV3, Joan Laporta and Ronald Koeman held a meeting where the Barcelona president asked for a 15-day window to find a replacement for the former Netherlands coach. <strong>If indeed Ronald Koeman has coached his last game at Barcelona, these three candidates could be the front runners to coach Barcelona if Koeman is fired.</strong></p>
<h2>Antonio Conte</h2>

<p></p></div>
<p>The Italian manager and former Inter Milan coach is now on the market following winning the Serie A title and ending Inter Milan’s championship drought. <strong>Antonio Conte </strong>has a big team resume having coached Italy, Chelsea, and Juventus.</p>
<h2>Xavi</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">

<p></p></div>
<p>While <strong>Xavi </strong>is currently coaching Al Sadd SC in Qatar, it has long been rumored that the former midfield general could fill any void if called upon. According to reports, Xavi is the top candidate among the Barcelona board. Barcelona would only need to secure his release from Al Sadd.</p>
<h2>Frank Rijkaard</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="412" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:412" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20210526_BUS_171384_frank_rijkaard_crop1622038088393.jpg_22069893_9e5ac10a.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=412" width="740" height="412"></figure><figcaption>    Frank Rijkaard (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>While out of the game since 2013, <strong>Frank Rijkaard</strong> was the starting point of the worldwide phenomenon that would be Barcelona, going back to 2003 – 2008. Winner of two leagues, 1 Champions League, and two Spanish Super Cups, Mundo Deportivo indicated that Rijkaard could step in since he is highly viewed by Messi and company. With Barcelona in financial troubles, Rijkaard could be a much cheaper and safe option.</p>
