If he hoped to take over from Didier Deschamps in the coming months, Zinedine Zidane can come back…
Zinedine Zidane doesn't hide it: he can't wait to get back on the bench. “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,” he recently confided. Several clubs are also considering him for next season, including Manchester United and Bayern Munich, even if he does not appear to be a priority for the Bavarian leaders.
The priority of the former playmaker is well known. His dream is indeed to sit on the Blues bench. “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”he confided in the summer of 2022, adding: “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. »
Zinedine Zidane then hoped to succeed Didier Deschamps at the end of the 2022 World Cup. But that was without counting on the Blues' journey to the final and the decision of the former Nantes player to return for four years, reducing to destroying his former teammate's hopes of becoming the new coach of the France team.
” All is said “
And if the native of Marseille was counting on a failure by Kylian Mbappé and his troops in Germany, next summer, it was a failure. This is evidenced by the comments made by Philippe Diallo during an interview given to Figaro. “Zinedine Zidane is one of the monuments of French football, the first thing is to have both recognition and gratitude for everything he has brought to the French. Then, we have the greatest coach in French football in place until 2026… Everything is said, he confided.
A new failure for the Blues at the Euro, four years after their elimination in the round of 16 against Switzerland, would obviously not call everything into question. “No, there is no question (for Deschamps). I am not going to prejudge this or that situation. Today, the idea is to be mobilized to put the team, Didier and the players in the best conditions so that they can fully express their talent. We are one of the favorite teams. We must not put any grain of sand that could stop this machine, which is a winning machine,” he said about the double world champion, determined to see the Blues shine.
