Contacted by the leaders of Bayern Munich, Zinedine Zidane would be ready to become the new coach of the German giant.
Less than a year later, Bayern Munich is once again looking for a new coach. Successor to Julian Nagelsmann last winter, Thomas Tuchel will indeed leave the Bavarian club at the end of the season. Consequence of the series of poor results recorded in recent weeks. With their backs against the wall in the Champions League after their defeat at Lazio Rome, the Munich residents have undoubtedly said goodbye to their Bundesliga champion title.
This time, Bayern leaders are not pressed for time and intend to make the right choice with Tuchel or Nagelsmann failing. The German champions have drawn up a shortlist which includes the most coveted technicians of the moment: Xabi Alonso, Jürgen Klopp and Zinedine Zidane.
According to the German press, the current coach of Bayer Leverkusen, who never ceases to impress, is the Munich giant’s priority. But the task will not be easy for Bayern. And not only because the former midfielder is under contract until 2026 with the Rhineland club. The Spanish coach is also coveted by many big names including Liverpool and FC Barcelona.
Negotiations soon to open?
Bayern Munich is well aware of the situation and has already sounded out Zinedine Zidane. And according to transfer specialist Ekrem Konur, the former playmaker would have shown interest, seduced by the idea of training the Rekordmesiter and discussions should soon begin between the two parties.
Asked about his friend, Christophe Dugarry also validated a possible signing of the hero of July 12, 1998 at Bayern. “Is he taking German lessons?” I do not believe. But afterward, the German championship is great. The stadiums are full, the championship is very open… I think that all coaches dream of coaching a club like Bayern, he recently explained. It’s the absolute best! I think it’s one of the perfect clubs for Zidane. The perfect club is Real Madrid, and they have done it again and again. Afterwards, whether he wants to go there, I don’t know. »
