“Zizou is a very good candidate, natural and I will add waiting”recently said Didier Deschamps in
The teamas if to validate the choice that all of France of football or almost has (already) done. “La Dèche” will leave his post as coach of the Blues in the wake of the 2026 World Cup in North America and it is obviously Zinedine Zidane who is announced as the future tricolor boss. After departing from Real Madrid in May 2021, he refused to direct PSG, Manchester United and Bayern, overpowered clubs that all surveyed him, also pushing the advances of the Federations of Brazil and the United States.
There is almost no chance of seeing the legend of French football accept a position in the coming months, even for a one -year freelance. Even Florentino Pérez, the boss of Casa Blanca, was rejected by his former playmaker, star galactic of the 2000s and coach of the 2016/2017/2018 in the Champions League. Carlo Ancelotti was indeed on the hot seat during the fall and, pending the appointment of Xabi Alonso this summer, the management of Real had thought of an interim provided by “Zizou” or Santiago Solari (director of football of the club).
Zidane cited with Pocsettino
In England, Zidane is cited again in the viewfinder of Manchester United. The native of Marseille however dismissed the idea of an officer in England and in particular among the residents of Old Trafford. The billionaire Sir Jim Ratcliffe had thought of the 98 Golden Ball in his takeover at the Red Devils a year and a half ago. However, the name of Zinedine Zidane would appear on a short-list in the event of replacement of Ruben Amorim. There is also Mauricio Pochettino, the ex-coach of Tottenham and PSG, who has no interest in engaging in Mu since he is at the head of the United States selection.
Amorim, appointed on November 1 in Manchester United after the dismissal of Erik Ten Hag, did not really succeed in relaunching the training led by Bruno Fernandes. The Red Devils have won only four Premier League matches in 14 days since the arrival of the Portuguese technician “bought” in Sporting. United is 15th in the classification, far from the qualifying places for the European Cups, weighed down by its workforce little supplied in talent. That is to say if the arrival of Zidane on the Mancunian bench is impossible.
