Mauricio Pochettino No. 1 Target to Replace Zinedine Zidane at Real Madrid

Real Madrid have reportedly identified Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino as their top target to replace current boss Zinedine Zidane should the Frenchman need to be replaced before the end of the 2017-18 season.

According to Pete Jenson in the Daily Mail, the Spanish giants believe the Argentinian is the "long-term solution" to their current problems, while Real are also eyeing moves for Spurs duo Harry KaneandDele Alli in next summer's transfer market.

Zidane has been in the top job at Real for less than two years but already has back-to-back UEFA Champions League titles in his trophy cabinet and the 2016-17 La Liga.
