And Ronaldo reportedly played a part in Zizou's decision to accept this offer.

Real Madrid has been the king of Europe in the last three seasons and at the heart of their impressive successive titles were Cristiano Ronaldo and Zinedine Zidane. Neither of them is at Los Blancos anymore, but rumors claim that they will soon reunite.

According to Libertad Digital, a Spanish online newspaper, the 1998 World Cup winner is inches away from joining Juventus not too long after the Portuguese ace left Santiago Bernabeu for Turin. This report comes almost two months after he shocked everyone and left the reigning Champions League holder.

The French icon led the Spanish giant to three straight European titles but decided to call an end to his reign after struggling in La Liga. Many wondered what his next move would be – whether he would go on sabbatical or dive back into managing immediately.

Libertad Digital names sources close to the family of Bianconeri chairman Andrea Agnelli as their source. Zidane's rumored arrival will not see current boss Massimiliano Allegri exit the club, as the Frenchman is set to become the consultant of the Old Lady's Director of Football.

There had been speculation that the former Real Madrid boss had agreed to a mega-money deal to take over the Qatar national team, but he now looks likely to keep his promise of staying away from managing in 2018/19. The Spanish publication writes that the 46-year-old will begin his new role alongside Fabio Paratici in October. 

Libertad Digital adds that Cristiano's Juventus move was key to Zidane's decision to accept this offer. Another key factor could have been the fact that the legendary midfielder spent five seasons with the Serie A giant during his playing career.
