This summer, Zinedine Zidane did not leave to find a bench despite contacts and announcement effects. Jérome Rothen wishes him to land at OM, where a huge project with the Saudis is still rumored.
PSG haven’t found their coach for next season, but it probably won’t be Zinedine Zidane. Despite the forcing of Qatar, and his proximity to the gas state since he was a representative of the World Cup organized last year, the French legend has always refused to take a seat on the sidelines of the Parc des Princes. In 2021, it was the possibility of taking over from Didier Deschamps at the helm of the France team that was holding him back, and this summer, there is no excuse in store. PSG does not seem to make him dream.
OM dreams of Zidane, everyone knows it
On the other hand, in Marseille, all the supporters dream of seeing him lead OM, the club of his city and for which he has never played. Even if the environment would not be easy to manage on a daily basis and could well scare him, the question has never really arisen since Zidane only plans to join an ambitious club capable of shining in Europe. What OM, with their more than delicate results in the Champions League in recent years, cannot offer them.

What if all this changes in the months to come, with the famous #VenteOM and the prospect of seeing Saudi Arabia and its financial resources among the most important in the world, buy the Provençal club from the hands of Frank McCourt? The information in this direction is multiplying, even if there are not many concrete confirmations. In any case, for Jérome Rothen, this possibility exists. The host of RMC, openly angry with Zinedine Zidane since their common and very different passage in the France team which he denounced in a book and on several occasions in the past, maintained the dream in a statement directly addressed to the Ballon d ‘Gold 1998.’ I can’t wait to see you again training in France, why not at Olympique de Marseille “, Slipped the RMC consultant, in an open letter addressed to Zidane, and which was to serve as a “big pardon”, even if that did not prevent him from scratching the legend of French football several times in the process.
Enough to maintain the fantasy of an arrival of the Saudis in Provence, with Zinedine Zidane as a highlight on the sidelines. If this were to be the case, the French coach knows that he will be warmly received in Marseille. Even if he can clearly count on Jérome Rothen to criticize him at the slightest opportunity. But the former number 5 of Real Madrid has seen others, he who knew how to make the Spanish press swallow his venom, much more trash than the French media when it comes to burning his headliners.
