It’s been more than three years now and the end of his second adventure at Real Madrid that Zinedine Zidane has not returned to service. The former number 10 of the Blues has nevertheless had many opportunities between PSG and more recently Bayern Munich. The triple winner of the Champions League (as coach) is still waiting for Didier Deschamps to give up his place as coach of the Blues but that should not happen before 2026. And yet, you never know if the 2018 world champion will not extend his lease at the head of the French team? An eternity for the one who would dream of taking charge of the selection, as if to come full circle. However, the months and years pass and time does not necessarily play in Zidane’s favor. For Christophe Dugarry, great friend of the 1998 Ballon d’Or, the scenario of never seeing him coach again is even to be feared.
“Everyone speaks for him. The few times he has spoken, he has said he was interested in the French team. He at least has the merit of being consistent. He has been credited with wanting to go to Italy, England, Bayern Munich… each time, he doesn’t even answer.the consultant explained this Wednesday on the airwaves of RMC. Where I agree with Jean-Michel (Larqué) is that maybe we will never see Zizou as a coach again. Yes, it is possible. But when Jean-Michel says that Zizou is not interested in the French team, he is wrong. Zizou is interested in the French team. If he has to coach again, his greatest and wildest desire is to be the coach of the French team. (…) How long is he prepared to wait? I don’t know. It’s an incredible waste. I just want to say: “thank you Didier (Deschamps) for what you did” and I want to see how things will go with Zizou.»
