REAL MADRID will eye a move for Joachim Low when Zinedine Zidane decides to leave the Bernabeu.
The Germany boss announced he will step down from his role at the national side after the Euros.
Low, 61, has been in charge of Die Mannschaft since 2006 and is likely to take a break before returning to management.
And with Zidane’s contract at the Bernabeu expiring in 2022, AS report how Low could be targetted to replace him next year.
Los Blancos looked at appointing Low after Zidane left the Bernabeu following his first stint in charge in 2018.
Low has previously made it no secret of his desire to manage Real Madrid.
In an interview with ZDF in 2018, he said: “It is also clear that most of my time as a national coach is over, so the time will come when you have to think about what to do next.
“I, for my part, remain interested in direct a club. Real Madrid is an interesting club for a coach.”
According to Bild journalist Christian Falk, Low has also been learning Spanish in preparation for a move to Spain.
The pinnacle of Low’s managerial career came in 2014 when Germany lifted the World Cup.

They also finished runner-up at the 2008 Euros but were humiliated at the 2018 World Cup when they finished bottom of their group that included Sweden, Mexico and South Korea.
Real Madrid will also consider promoting club legend Raul to manage the senior squad.
The former forward and club’s second all-time top scorer, is currently manager of the Castilla youth side.
