The reliable journalist Fabrizio Romano has settled the ongoing debate about the possibility of French coach Zinedine Zidane returning to manage the royal team starting from the next season.

Romano confirmed that Zidane's return to Real Madrid is "not at all likely" at the moment, emphasizing that the French coach does not include the club in his future plans, despite the great successes he previously achieved with the team.

The source clarified that Zidane has a verbal agreement to take over as coach of the French national team after the upcoming World Cup finals, succeeding the current coach Didier Deschamps. This explains his absence from any negotiations with clubs at the present time.

On the other hand, Real Madrid is quietly studying the coaching market amidst uncertainties surrounding Álvaro Arbeloa's continuation in his position for the next season, as the club's management seeks to secure strong alternatives in anticipation of any potential changes.

Several prominent names have been linked with taking over the coaching role for the royal team, including Jürgen Klopp, Massimiliano Allegri, José Mourinho, and Mauricio Pochettino, as we await the management's decisions in the upcoming period.
