4 reasons why no one wants the Real Madrid job

#1 Timing right for Zidane, but not Madrid

Klopp and Poch are both not in a position to leave their respective clubs at this time

The overriding sense once the initial euphoria of Zidane's resignation subsided was that he had got the timing right once again and that he jumped a sinking ship at the right time. Zidane said as much in his press conference, with him quoting

'It’s not as simple as just staying. I think it would be difficult to keep winning if I stayed.

But the timing was all wrong for Real Madrid as he left the job at a time when all of their top candidates to replace him were unavailable or unwilling to take the job at this particular moment.

Pochettino and Low, their top targets had just recently extended their stay with their Club and National side and other targets such as Allegri and Klopp were not ready to leave their respective clubs at this juncture.

Madrid would have ideally preferred another club legend Guti, their current Castilla coach to take over from Zidane in a few years time but Zidane's sudden resignation has put a spanner in their plans as he is too inexperienced at this point to take on a job as demanding as Real Madrid.

For president Florentino Perez all this is a major headache, but he has had 11 coaches in his 13 years as president so this is not new to him.

It's just no surprise that with such a philosophy top coaches in big jobs nowadays are not falling over themselves to tear up their contracts for a brief shot at glory.

And therein lies the problem.
