Real Madrid have already made contact with Mauricio Pochettino and Germany boss Joachim Low, inquiring about their interest in succeeding Zidane, according to media reports.
It’s believed that Pochettino’s Tottenham contract doesn’t have a release clause but there is an agreement in place with chairman Daniel Levy that would allow the Argentine to negotiate with Los Blancos if he wishes to.
Zidane shocked the world on Thursday, five days after winning his third consecutive Champions League title, by revealing his decision to step down from his role as Madrid manager, saying a change is needed for him and the club. Soon after, the board started looking at potential replacements and has reportedly contracted Mauricio Pochettino and Joachim Low.
