The Frenchman certainly deserved his holidays after guiding Real to a league and Champions League double last season. But as we well know, footbal waits for no man. With just over a month to go until the new season gets underway, Zidane already has plenty to be getting on with.
As reported in 'AS' there are several main tasks that Zidane will be looking to take care of ahead of the new season.
The first task is perhaps the most obvious one, the Ronaldo situation needs solving. Zidane has already had some success with Ronaldo, convincing him of the benefits of being rested, therefore there is reason to believe that Zidane could talk him around and convince him to stay at the Bernabeu.
Another thing on the agenda is Zidane's contract renewal. Florentino Perez has already announced that a contract renewal will be put in motion sooner rather than later, but it is always better for these things to be official.
With regard to the transfer market, Zidane has 3 problems which don't seem to have any simple solutions. In tems of incomings, Kylian Mbappe is on the club's wanted list and Zidane will be hoping to use the French connection to convince the youngster that the Bernabeu is the best place for him to develop.
However, Real also need to be wary of outgoings, rumours continue to circe that James, Morata and of course Ronaldo are not happy at the club and they they would like to move to pastures new this summer.
Zidnae certainly has plenty on his plate and as always in football, time is of the essence.
