Carlo Ancelotti has reportedly agreed to take over the management duties at Real Madrid in the summer.
It is widely expected that Madrid's current coach, Jose Mourinho, will depart the Bernabeu at the end of the current campaign following a number of disputes with both his playing squad and the Spanish media.
A number of managers have been linked with the role, but current Paris Saint-Germain coach Ancelotti is the man that the Madrid board have selected to take the club forward, according to Le Parisien.
That speculation has resulted in claims that Mourinho could fill the potential void left by Ancelotti at the Parc des Princes.
Recent reports have suggested that PSG's Qatari owners are keen to hold talks with Mourinho, who has also been linked with a return to Chelsea.
