If he is not Bayern’s priority, Zinédine Zidane would be in the good books of the Munich leaders for the succession of Thomas Tuchel. And after Julian Nagelsmann, it was another targeted coach who said no!
What if Zinédine Zidane really took charge of Bayern Munich with Franck Ribéry as his deputy? After waiting in vain for the position of coach of the France team in the wake of the 2022 World Cup (Didier Deschamps finally extended it until 2026), the former Real Madrid coach would be determined to return to service. PSG no longer offers him anything, Manchester United dreams of entrusting him with the Red Devils and Juventus has not yet decided the fate of Massimiliano Allegri…
“Zizou” would especially be in the sights of Bayern leaders, as indicated in recent days Mundo Deportivo Then The Team. The three-time winner of the Champions League with Casa Blanca is, however, not one of the main targets of FCB, since, according to Sky Sport GermanyUnaï Emery, Ralf Rangnick and Roberto De Zerbi were plan B for priority Julian Nagelsmann.
Nagelsmann and Emery out of the race
However, after Nagelsmann’s surprise extension at the head of the German selection (it was said that the young strategist wanted to resume his club career), it was Emery who declined the invitation. At least, the Spanish technician who passed through PSG extended his lease at Aston Villa until 2027 this Tuesday. The Birmingham club is having a superb season and finds itself fourth in the Premier League, with six points more than Tottenham with four games remaining (Spurs however have two games less)0.
For Zidane, the situation will perhaps change quickly. Fréderic Hermel, Monday evening on RMC, assured that there was still no contact between the two parties. Bayern’s general manager and sporting director face a dilemma: entrust his destiny to the 98 Ballon d’Or or therefore offer the job to Rangnick. The current coach of Austria would stay for a year while waiting for the arrival of Xabi Alonso or Jürgen Klopp. The first continues his adventure in Leverkusen, the second will soon take a well-deserved vacation.
