Furthermore, Zidane’s appointment would ‘encourage’ Eden Hazard to sign a new contract, given he idolises the former Blancos boss.
The iconic midfielder led Madrid to three consecutive Champions Leagues and a Spanish title between 2016 and 2018.
Sarri, on the other hand, is reportedly facing a player revolt after recent heavy defeats, although he still has an EFL Cup Final to look forward to.
