After confirming his desire to find a bench, Zinédine Zidane will be spoiled for choice next summer.
“Anything can happen, at the moment I’m doing something else but I’m sure I’ll be back on the bench, I’d love to”. Zinédine Zidane did not beat around the bush when approaching his short-term future. At the microphone of Sky Italia, the 1998 world champion was very clear: he wants to find a bench after almost three years without activity.
Where could the French football icon bounce back? A real waltz of coaches is expected during the next offseason. Liverpool will lose Jürgen Klopp. Bayern Munich announced the departure of Thomas Tuchel. Xavi will also leave FC Barcelona. But if Bayern has been cited as a plausible destination for Zidane, it is another major European club that would like to attract the Frenchman.
Zidane, heading for England?
According to information from Foot Mercato, Manchester United would have checked the name of Zinédine Zidane as their priority to replace Erik ten Hag. After years of wandering, the British club is determined to restore its image. Jim Ratcliffe, new boss of MU, has already started to advance his pawns in this matter.
Manchester United will, however, have to find the arguments to attract a technician who has always been resistant to the idea of working in England, for family and personal reasons. The competition will also be tough for MU, since in addition to Bayern, Juventus could also move closer to Zidane in the event of the departure of Massimiliano Allegri.
