Without a club for more than two years, Zinedine Zidane would appear on the shelves of an Italian team.

After leaving Real Madrid at the end of the 2020-2021 financial year, Zinedine Zidane did not take on a new challenge. Eager to take over the reins of the France team at the start of the year, the former number 10 of the Blues saw his dream postponed with the extension of Didier Deschamps. From then on, Zizou opened the door to a return to a club. But it remains to be seen where…

According to information from La Gazzetta dello sport, Zidane is one of the options studied by Aurelio De Laurentiis with a view to taking over from Rudi Garcia on the Naples bench, while the former OM and OL coach is more than ever on a ejection seat. But the 98 world champion is not the only coach to appear on the short list of the sulphurous Neapolitan president. The names of Conte, Gallardo, Potter and even Cannavaro are also mentioned by the transalpine media.

Tudor holds the rope

Yes, but now, according to transfer window specialist Fabrizio Romano, Igor Tudor would be in pole position to succeed Rudi Garcia. Discussions are even underway between the former OM coach and Aurelio De Laurentiis to finalize the last details before his arrival. The Croatian technician could thus lead his first training session near Naples this Wednesday.
