Real Madrid are actively discussing Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino as a successor for Zinedine Zidane.

The Sun says Spurs' boss impressed Bernabeu chiefs with his conduct in Spain last week.

Real president, Florentino Perez, made it clear he has absolutely no plans to get rid of current coach Zizou.

But he has told pals that if Zidane did leave, then Poch would be in the frame to take over.

The Argie, 45, has done an outstanding job since taking charge of Spurs in June 2014, steering them to second in the Premier League last season.
