Spanish paper El Pais claims Antonio Conte was ruled out for the Real Madrid job thanks to a veto from Sergio Ramos.
Zinedine Zidane walked away after three consecutive Champions League trophies and after several weeks of speculation, they poached Jolen Lopetegui from the Spain bench on the verge of the World Cup.
There were many other contenders for the role, including Max Allegri of Juventus and Tottenham’s Mauricio Pochettino.

Zinedine Zidane walked away after three consecutive Champions League trophies and after several weeks of speculation, they poached Jolen Lopetegui from the Spain bench on the verge of the World Cup.
There were many other contenders for the role, including Max Allegri of Juventus and Tottenham’s Mauricio Pochettino.
However, El Pais maintains current Chelsea boss Conte was never really in the running because of player power in the Merengues locker room.
It’s reported defender Ramos asked fellow Spaniards who had already worked with Conte for some information and decided to slam the door to the Bernabeu.
