Press comments on Zidane's Real return: “Life saver”

The international press reviews at a glance: SPAIN Sports: “Life saver! There's always a rabbit in Florentino Perez's hat. Perez surprisingly announces Zidane's return. It is his last patron to survive the crisis of the white ballet. Perez buys the savior at a golden price. He needs a strong man to save himself and Real.”

Marca: “Zidane, the return of the hero. Zidane is back on the throne 284 days after the split. Zidane has achieved the greatest things, but there are still chapters to be written. He has the opportunity to do that now.”

El Mundo Deportivo: “Zidane: Eleven games and a revolution to come. Just like in January 2016, when he agreed to take over during the crisis, he is now returning after his loud exit.”

AS: “Zidane was promised three shadows and absolute power.”

FRANCE L'Equipe: “The Return of the King: Zidane almighty. To everyone's surprise, Zidane returned to Real Madrid on Monday with all his ambitions."

France Football: “Zidane, the big comeback. Zidane arrives in a minefield. Real are at the height of the crisis and have practically nothing left to play until June. In less than a year, the players have lost all the confidence that allowed them to win the Champions League three times in a row.”

Le Parisien: “Zidane’s return is anything but good news for PSG.”

ITALIAN Gazzetta dello Sport: “Zidane is taking the reins at Real Madrid again. Florentino Perez brings Zidane back home. “Madrid needs half a revolution.”

Corriere dello Sport: “Royal turnaround at Real. Zidane returns home after 284 days of vacation. Now it's time to re-establish the team. The Frenchman prevailed in the duel with Mourinho.”

Tuttosport: “Striking comeback: The royal star coach Zidane returns. After a nine-month break, Zidane is starting again where he really belongs. He left a vacuum into which Lopetegui, Solari, Spain's World Cup and Real Madrid's season fell."

Corriere della Sera: “It will be almost impossible for Zidane, who has won three Champions League titles in a row, to top himself. But loving yourself again after a divorce can be surprisingly positive.”

La Repubblica: “The return of Doctor Zidane, who must survive Real's winter. Perez displays Zizou like a trophy. The Frenchman, who has said 'no' to many clubs in recent months, has been convinced."

ENGLAND The Sun: “Zidane's return turns into Chelsea's worst nightmare in race for Eden Hazard. The Belgian has made no secret of his desire to one day play under the legendary Frenchman.”

Daily Mirror: “Now it’s Zidane’s way. Zidane returns to Real Madrid promising big changes after being given the keys to the kingdom by Perez.”

Mirror: “Zidane has made three important demands for Perez to return to Real. Now he can spend the money in the summer.”

AUSTRIA Krone: “Trainer hammer! Zidane returns to Real Madrid. With the new castling, club president Florentino Perez drew the consequences of a completely messed up season. Is Ronaldo returning now too?”

SWITZERLAND Blick: “Zidane is the savior. Big Zidane revolution at Real Madrid. His power knows (almost) no limits. Bale and Modric probably have to go.”
