Laliga giants Real Madrid are reportedly considering a shock swoop for Carlo Ancelotti as they look for a replacement for Zinedine Zidane.
The French legend ended his second spell in charge at Madrid last week after failing to win a trophy in the 2020-21 campaign.
And all talk is now turning to who his replacement will be, with the likes of Mauricio Pochettino, Raul and Antonio Conte among those to be linked with the vacancy.

But according to Spanish outlet Cadena SER Madrid have made contact with Everton boss Ancelotti over the last few days as they attempt to lure the Italian into a sensational return.
Ancelotti took charge of Madrid between 2013-15, and in that time won the club’s tenth Champions League title as well as a Copa del Rey, UEFA Super Cup and Club World Cup.
He is still highly thought of by the likes of Madrid president Florentino Perez, and was a popular figure among both players and fans during his time in the Spanish capital.
However, it is unlikely that Everton would be willing to let Ancelotti go easily given that his contract runs until 2024, and Madrid may be forced to pay an eye-watering compensation package if they wish to land the 61-year-old.
