In an interview with Téléfoot on Sunday, Zinedine Zidane expressed his desire to quickly find a bench… and why not in France. The PSG however makes him flee more than anything else according to Alain Giresse.
Without a club for more than two years, Zinedine Zidane is chomping at the bit. Six months ago, the ex-Real Madrid coach thought he could claim the bench of the French team. But the beautiful course of the Blues at the World Cup in Qatar finally benefited Didier Deschamps, which was extended until June 2026 by Noël Le Graët. A place which has therefore not been offered to Zinedine Zidane, any more than that at Juventus Turin since the Old Lady has reinforced Massimiliano Allegri, despite the mediocre game offered by the Turin club for several years. In Real Madrid either, the place is not free: Carlo Ancelotti will at least stay one more year, before his probable departure for Brazil.

Zinedine Zidane is not fond of the Premier League so there are few options. That of Paris Saint-Germain has often been mentioned. And for good reason, Qatar has always made the former captain of the French team its priority for the coaching position, first to succeed Mauricio Pochettino and then to take the place of Christophe Galtier this summer. But the native of Marseille has always said no. And he was right to do so according to Alain Giresse, questioned on this subject on the antenna of Europe 1.
Zidane “was right” to refuse PSG
“Zidane has exposed his desire to dive back (into a club). He has to find the long time not to be on the field with a team. But for me, it’s difficult to see him in a French club after what he has known. And also what he hopes for with an armed team to fight at the highest level. He has the possibility of having other objectives. World-class perspectives. I do not currently see him training on French territory. He only trained the top, the very high level. In my opinion, he was right to refuse Paris Saint-Germain, when you see how this club works, that’s not what will make him want to join when he is looking for a stable club. believes the former player of the France team, for whom Zinedine Zidane would have made a very big mistake by committing to the capital club, relatively unstable and which has crushed all its coaches for more than ten years now. It remains to be seen where the former Real Madrid coach, the man with three Champions League victories and who has now been free for two years, will bounce back.
