Zinedine Zidane has said no to the post of Algeria coach after having already refused other similar offers. Enough to provoke questions.
Although he hasn’t coached for three and a half years, Zinedine Zidane remains a coveted man. The United States and Brazil had already considered him for the position of coach. A few days ago, it was Algeria which in turn contacted the former number ten of the France team, in the hope of seeing him take over from Djamel Belmadi who had been removed from the Fennecs bench. . But again, “Zizou” politely rejected the proposal. Still waiting for Didier Deschamps to leave the Blues, Zinedine Zidane therefore continues to say no to other offers. A choice that appeals to some.
The subject was raised on Friday by Bertrand Latour on the channel The Team. The journalist seemed to be worried about the repeated refusals from the native of Marseille. “ The problem for Zidane, and we have understood this for a long time, is that he is waiting for the France team. But the problem is that it makes him miss a certain number of challenges that he could have accepted all this time. Because so far, the Blues’ performances have been so good that Didier Deschamps has been extended almost systematically. And the end of his contract is in 2026. »
Not forgotten, but
A context not very favorable to Zinedine Zidane, which makes the observer fear that the main interested party will miss out on great opportunities. “ He hasn’t coached since 2021 and after a while, time passes. So in relation to his name and especially to what he achieved at Real Madrid, he will never be forgotten and he will remain at the forefront. But I think he wants to coach. It’s good to take some time to rest and be with his family, but he might want to dive back in. He refused Brazil, the United States and now Algeria. The problem is that for now, the selection he wants is taken. He can wait a long time. »
