Real Madrid is going through a tough time. The team has not won in three matches, the style of play is not convincing, and cracks are starting to show in the relationship between the key players and Xabi Alonso. Vinícius' situation is the last straw.

In the midst of this scenario, Florentino Pérez would already be considering a drastic plan if his bet on the Spanish coach does not pay off: bringing back Zinedine Zidane.

Florentino Pérez and Zidane's Return to Real Madrid

Florentino Pérez is not the type of president to act impulsively, but the red flags are already up. The Real Madrid's inconsistent performance has sparked debate within the club's leadership. Even though there are no formal contacts with Zidane yet, everything seems to point towards Pérez having his own safety net: the Frenchman, free after his second stint, remains his number one choice for a managerial change.

Rumors within the club suggest that if Xabi Alonso is sacked, Zidane could return for a third era at the Santiago Bernabéu to lead the team through the challenging phase due to poor results since the previous season.

The Price for Zidane's Return

Zidane wouldn't return under just any contract. Florentino would be willing to offer Zidane a generous deal, but under stringent conditions: Zidane would require more authority in sporting decisions, including control over transfers.

This autonomy would be crucial for his return; his previous departure was partly due to feeling unsupported. Additionally, he would manage a squad full of star players with strong personalities like Jude Bellingham, Vinícius, Rodrygo, or Mbappé, who may need his strong hand to steer a squad in crisis. Zidane aims to have more influence on the team, ensuring player recruitment aligns with his gameplay vision and reducing the burden of managing egos as in previous years.

Why Zidane Fits if Florentino Decides to Act?

Zinedine Zidane possesses the symbolic and emotional weight that Real Madrid may need to calm internal tensions. He's been a European champion, knows the club inside out, and has demonstrated capability in handling big personalities.

With Xabi Alonso facing challenges, Florentino sees Zidane as a solution combining media influence, sporting authority, and deep club knowledge. The plan is to have Zidane ready as a backup if Alonso's management doesn't improve and steering the team gets complicated.

Looking ahead, Zidane doesn't see his time being wasted: he aims to be the French national team coach after the 2026 World Cup. If that materializes, he could become available to return to Madrid. Florentino is fine-tuning his moves to ensure he's not caught off guard if things become complicated with the current coach.

Real Madrid could be at a crucial turning point. If results don't improve and tensions persist, Florentino Pérez has his ace up his sleeve: a return of Zinedine Zidane, which, if realized, would mark the end of Xabi Alonso's era.
