Remaining close to Zinedine Zidane, Christophe Dugarry made a surprising revelation about the French coach.
We still do not know where and when Zinedine Zidane, without a position since May 2021 and his departure from Real Madrid, will return to the sidelines. But one thing is certain, it will not be in Brazil. Friend of the 1998 world champion, Christophe Dugarry announced Friday evening on RMC that “Zizou” had refused to become the new Auriverde coach. “He thought about it, but he thought about it because ‘Zizou’ thinks about all the proposals made to himrevealed the consultant in the show Rothen Ignites. He has the greatest respect for all clubs, and even more for a country like Brazil. »
“He has a proposal, he listens to it, he studies it, he thinks and then he responds. There you go, he has respect for all the people who ask him, it’s completely normal and logicaladded “Duga”, who even clarified that the former Merengue coach was the priority of the Brazilian football federation. Afterwards, you also have to be pragmatic. I think Zidane was clearly Brazil’s first choice. Today, Ancelotti explains to us as second choice that he will not go and that he prefers to stay at Real. And Mourinho, as perhaps third choice – I don’t know what the order is – says he won’t go either. »
“I think that ‘Zizou’ was asked and that he kindly gave them his answer. Since they looked for a number 2 and a number 3, it’s a no, insisted the former Bordeaux player, who would have liked to see his ex-teammate at the head of the Seleçao. The story would have been beautiful. I would have loved to see Zidane, the most Brazilian of the French, with Brazil. I sincerely think that the French would not have held it against him since the position (in France) is held by a coach for whom it works. I would have loved to see Zidane in Brazil, it would have been incredible. But it’s not his choice. We’ll see where all this takes him. »
