5 coaches currently available if Real Madrid sack Ancelotti

It's been reported that Carlo Ancelotti risks losing his job if he fails to bring the Club World Cup back to Madrid. Since we are currently halfway through the season, there might not be many coaches willing to relocate.

However, there are several great options available for hire right now.

Raul. The club legend has been a coach at the academy since 2018 and is currently sitting second in the league with Castilla. Raul has recently rejected an offer from the Premier League in hope that Real Madrid will consider him for the first-team job eventually.

Zinedine Zidane. With the France job no longer on the table, Zidane could be willing to return to Santiago Bernabeu. It would make it his third stint as the first-team coach at Madrid.

Thomas Tuchel. A Champions League runner-up in 2020 and winner in 2021, Tuchel is seen by many fans as the perfect coach to carry out a squad rejuvenation at Madrid.

Mauricio Pochettino. The Argentine has been linked with Madrid on multiple occasions in the past but the club might be wary after Pochettino's failed stint at Paris Saint-Germain.

Marcelo Gallardo. He is one of the most successful coaches in South America in recent years, Gallardo manages to combine good football with good results. He quit River Plate at the end of the season and seems ready for the European stage.
