After Hansi Flick was sidelined as Germany coach, Zinédine Zidane’s name was given by Bild. Fake news! The German federation is targeting a top coach who speaks German.
Zinédine Zidane will not be Hansi Flick’s successor at the head of the German selection. It would have been a huge surprise. But it’s Bildin the wake of the sidelining of the former Bayern coach last Sunday, who had included “Zizou” among the coaches likely to lead this Mannschaft in the midst of a crisis of results and identity.
The information was very improbable, while the one who waited in vain for the departure of Didier Deschamps from the France team once ruled out the idea of joining the Premier League and even Bayern, not knowing English. It was simply false information given by the main German media (not always very reliable).
Already a final duel?
Always according to Bild, this Tuesday, the German federation is now hesitating between Julian Nagelsmann, a young young strategist, and Louis van Gaal, a very experienced coach who is likely to make a good move during Euro 2024 organized on German soil (June 14-July 14 ). If he is chosen, the Dutchman would be the very first foreign coach in the history of the Mannschaft.
Germany would be ready to rely on Van Gaal, since Rudi Völler, as “director” of the German national team, says he is looking for a “ German speaker and top trainer » (in that order). Zidane was the only one on the list given by BildLouis van Gaal and the Austrian Oliver Glasner being two German-speaking technicians (and even spent in the Bundesliga).
