The future of Zinédine Zidane on the bench remains in complete limbo.
Free since his departure from Real Madrid in 2021, Zinédine Zidane remains the most highly rated coach on the market. But time is running out, and places are rare. In his public speaking engagements, the icon of the France team has always expressed his wish to find a project that matches his personal ambitions. In other words, Zidane wants to win. What could this project be? In the landscape of world football, the horizon is darkening.
In France, the name of Zinédine Zidane has been linked to three institutions: the French team, Paris Saint-Germain and Olympique de Marseille. Eternal lover of the Blues, ZZ saw himself taking over from Didier Deschamps in the short to medium term, but his former teammate from France 1998 returned until 2026. The former number 10 also failed PSG, who were ardently courting him before the arrival of Luis Enrique. And if OM reaps its favors, this choice of the heart for this native of Marseillais could only be possible in the event of a buyout by Saudi Arabia.
Zidane styled by another technician for Real Madrid? The German press makes an announcement
So he remains the foreigner. Reluctant to explore England for family reasons, Zinédine Zidane would remain open to taking a place on the bench of one of the two clubs that thrilled his first life as a footballer: Real Madrid and Juventus. But if, in Turin, Massimiliano Allegri continues to resist despite a very scratched rating, Zizou could also have his hair done by another technician at Real. According to information from Bild, it is Xabi Alonso, current coach of Bayer Leverkusen, who would be the priority of the club’s management to succeed Carlo Ancelotti. Finally, the latter has already found common ground with the Brazilian federation to become coach of the Seleçao from the summer of 2024. Another avenue to forget for Zinédine Zidane.
