Guest of Super Moscato Show this Wednesday on RMCLuis Fernandez sent a clear message to Zinédine Zidane: he is ready to support him if the latter succeeds Didier Deschamps at the head of the France team. On the occasion of the release of his book “Paris SG, this love that I have for you”, the former PSG coach, now 66 years old, expressed his wish to find a role in the staff of the Blues, but only alongside Zidane. “You started your career with me, I would like to finish it with you”he told her during a recent exchange, referring to their shared debut at AS Cannes.

Fernandez clarified that he was not aiming for an assistant position, but rather an advisory or liaison role with the players: “not as deputy. But in his staff, working with him, making the connection with the players… I would like that. I'm not dumped! »he assured before paying tribute to ZZ. “Zizou means a lot to me. (…) It’s an example for football. » Without a position since his departure from Real Madrid in the summer of 2021, Zidane recently reaffirmed his ambition to become coach of the Blues, while Didier Deschamps will leave his position after the 2026 World Cup.
