Four years have passed since the end of his second visit to Real Madrid, his last coach position. Despite this, he had several opportunities to make his long -awaited return to football, notably with Manchester United and Marseille who have expressed their interest in the last 12 to 18 months.
Zinedine Zidane repels a Saudi offer
According to the team (via Diario as), he would have declined another opportunity for coach in recent weeks, this time in Saudi Arabia.
A few weeks ago, the departure of Jorge Jesus from Al Hilal was confirmed. The Saudi pro League identified Zidane as a leading candidate to replace him, but his candidacy was rejected. According to some information, a contract proposal of more than 100 million euros has been submitted, but the Real Madrid and the French team icon was not interested.
Zidane has already identified her next coach position
And it is not without reason. Zidane missed the appointment of the French team in 2022 after the turnaround of Didier Deschamps concerning his decision to extend his contract. It was a blow for Zizou, but since then, he has been waiting for the opportunity to present himself – and she will show up next summer.
It has already been confirmed that Deschamps will leave his post as coach of the French team after the 2026 World Cup, and everything suggests that Zidane will replace him. Everything suggests that this situation will be played after the World Cup next summer, and it will be a memorable moment for the 52 -year -old player to direct his country.
