After successfully poaching Thierry Henry in 2021, can Prime Video afford the services of Zinedine Zidane as a consultant? This is the crazy idea of L’Equipe after the appointment of the new coach of the France Espoirs team.
” We have the right to dream “. After the appointment of Thierry Henry as head of the France Espoirs team, the “media” section of The Team offers 4 former French internationals for the role of star consultant for Prime Video in France. The 2nd top scorer in the history of the Blues had been poached to everyone’s surprise, in 2021, by Amazon, in order to analyze Ligue 1 matches. He was until then a TV consultant only from England.
In addition to Christophe Dugarry (two days a week on RMC), Samir Nasri (excellent on Canal+) and Patrice Evra (consultant in Italy for… Prime Video), The Team thus gives the name of Zinédine Zidane as a potential headliner for the championship broadcaster. A three-time Champions League-winning coach with Real Madrid, the Ballon d’Or 98 would make a quality expert, even if he was a bit discreet in this function on Canal+ just after his retirement from football.
Since leaving Real in May 2021, ‘Zizou’ hasn’t found a new challenge as he is motivated to lead again. The tricolor football legend waited in vain for the departure of Didier Deschamps from the France team after the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, refusing the golden bridge offered by PSG the year before. In Spain, it is said that the Galactico can at any time replace Carlo Ancelotti, who will become Brazil coach in 2024.
