Zinedine Zidane's exit from Real Madrid left the world stunned, but it's time for the team to work on their "Plan B".
After winning three straight UEFA Champions League titles, it will take a special kind of coach to replace the revered Zizou at the helm, especially since most players were delighted to work under the French boss.
With that in mind, two of the most read newspapers in Madrid, As and Marca, asked fans which coach they'd like to have as their new boss. Surprisingly, both polls show the same result with almos the same names included.
Marca's poll had six options: Jürgen Klopp, Mauricio Pochettino, Joachim Löw, Guti, Michel and other. At the moment this article was being written, Klopp held the lead with 29% of the votes, followed by former youth category coach and Real Madrid icon Guti.

Mauricio Pochettino is a close second, while Joachim Löw's lack of experience as a club coach sees him falling to a distant third place, if we consider only those coaches included in both polls.
