Real Madrid president Florentino Perez has received encouragement after making enquiries after Joachim Low.
While he is fully supportive of coach Zinedine Zidane, Perez has activelty drawn up a 'Plan B' in the event he must part with the Frenchman next year.
Don Balon says should Real finish the season potless, Perez will ask Zidane to resign.
His top choice to succeed Zizou is Germany coach Low, who has been a long-term target for the Real president.
A fresh approach has been made to Low's representatives - with the feedback positive. Indeed, the German is excited by Real's interest and favours returning to club football immediately after the World Cup in Russia next summer.
Those pushing back inside the Real board room have been reminded by Perez of Antonio Conte's success at Chelsea - winning the title at first attempt after four years in charge of the Italian national team.
