The French football legend is expected to be in Riyadh next week. Enough to fuel the rumor of a commitment with OM.
Zinedine Zidane and OM, this marriage is no longer a utopian dream but rather a possibility if we are to believe all the information circulating on this subject in recent hours. The French technician would indeed be in favor of the idea of taking charge of the Marseille club.
Zidane arrives in Riyadh
On Thursday, the media France Bleu reported that ZZ spoke with officials of the Saudi consortium interested in buying OM. He made it clear to them that he would accept the position of coach of his hometown club if the takeover ever materialized.
A rumor which was then substantiated in the evening by a close friend of the Royal family in Saudi Arabia, a certain Talal Al Otaibi. The latter indicated on social networks that a visit by Zidane to Riyadh is scheduled for next week. However, he was unable to communicate the purpose of this trip.
Unless it is for religious reasons or to attend a Saudi Pro League match, it is difficult to see why Zidane would go to the Saudi capital. Except of course to discuss the contours of his potential future mission at the Vélodrome. To be continued.
