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 actively made 'Plan B' in the event he must part with the Frenchman next year.
His top choice to succeed Zizou is Germany coach Low, who has been a long-term target for the Real president.
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.
