Real Madrid Boss Flo Perez Livid At Carlo Ancelotti Over His Awful Performance
Los Blancos Fell To A Shock 3-2 Defeat Against RB Leipzig In The Champions League Group Stage.
Paris Saint-Germain have reportedly contacted Zinedine Zidane about the possibility of taking over as manager next summer, casting doubt over the future of current boss Mauricio Pochettino.
Zidane is a free agent after leaving Real Madrid at the end of last season, and he has been linked with a number of top clubs in recent months, including Manchester United and Juventus.
According to reports in Spain, PSG have made contact with Zidane's representatives to discuss the possibility of him taking over at the Parc des Princes next summer, when Pochettino's contract expires.
Pochettino has been under pressure at PSG ever since he took over from Thomas Tuchel in January 2021, and the team's underwhelming performance in the Champions League this season has only increased the speculation surrounding his future.
PSG were knocked out of the Champions League in the round of 16 by Real Madrid, and they have also struggled in Ligue 1, losing three of their opening eight games.
Zidane, on the other hand, has a proven track record of success at the highest level, having won three Champions League titles with Real Madrid.
He is also a popular figure with the PSG fans, having played for the club for five years between 1998 and 2001.
If Zidane were to take over at PSG, it would be a major coup for the club, and it would send a clear message that they are serious about challenging for the biggest trophies in Europe.
A Shocking Loss For Real Madrid
Real Madrid suffered a shock 3-2 defeat against RB Leipzig in the Champions League group stage on Tuesday night.
Carlo Ancelotti's men were stunned by two goals from Christopher Nkunku and a strike from Dominik Szoboszlai, and they were unable to recover despite a late goal from Vinicius Junior.
The defeat leaves Real Madrid third in their group, behind Leipzig and Shakhtar Donetsk, and they will need to win their remaining two games to qualify for the knockout stages.
Ancelotti Under Pressure
The defeat to Leipzig has put Ancelotti under pressure, with some fans and pundits calling for him to be sacked.
Ancelotti has won three Champions League titles with Real Madrid, but he has struggled to maintain the team's high standards this season.
Real Madrid have lost four of their last six games in all competitions, and they are now fourth in La Liga, five points behind leaders Barcelona.
If Ancelotti is sacked, it would be a major surprise, but it is clear that he is under pressure to turn things around quickly.
