On the market if we are to believe his words, Zinedine Zidane is spoiled for choice when it comes to relaunching his coaching career.

At each of his public appearances, Zinedine Zidane is called upon to discuss his future in football. And each time the person concerned proclaims his passion and suggests that his return to business is imminent. Again on Monday, the former leader of the Blues confided his desire to return to service. “ Why not ” in Italy…

Recently, Algeria tried its luck, its name was mentioned behind the scenes at Bayern and the English press echoed Ineos’ desire to host the 1998 Ballon d’Or at Manchester United. A multiple interest which pushes Eric Di Meco to affirm that the time has finally come to reconnect with football for Zinedine Zidane.

I think he needs to coach now. He can’t stay on the sidelines too longjudges the former international defender on RMC. Some great coaches have been forced to lower their level a little. We were talking about Ancelotti and Real but when he went to Everton, or even Naples, we can say that he was forced to go down a notch to do his job. There are coaches who did not hesitate to do it. »

“An alignment of the planets”

However, Zinedine Zidane, who has not officiated since 2021 and his departure from the White House, does not seem ready for all the sacrifices. “ I don’t have the impression that Zizou is in that spirit. Except that this year there are a lot of benches that will move. (…) You have Liverpool, you have Bayern, you have Manchester United… I’m not sure that Allegri, if tomorrow Zidane says he wants to go to Juve, it will be over and the club will take Zizou… »

And Di Meco concludes: “ There, I still have the impression that there is an alignment of the planets for him to get back to work. At some point, we will still have to make one or two concessions. Concessions include, for example, going to a country where you learn the language a little more difficult, where the weather is less beautiful. (…) If in the lot (of the suitors, editor’s note) United want it at all costs, it’s still a monstrous club! (…) They will buy him whoever he wants. If they bring in Zizou, it’s a blank check. »
