Zinedine Zidane yesterday was re-appointed as manager of Real Madrid and missed out on the opportunity to return to Juventus, this time as a manager.

 But his arrival at the Casa Blanca does bring some good news for Juve, Zizou does not want James Rodriguez, who will return from the loan to Bayern, at the club next season, and will let him negotiate with the Bianconeri in June.

James has long been linked to Juventus, with reports suggesting that Ronaldo has been one of the driving forces in the deal, after admitting that he was keen to play with James again after playing with him in Madrid.
