If he is also announced on the shelves of Al-Ittihad, where he would find a certain Karim Benzema, Zinedine Zidane is still expected to take the reins of Olympique de Marseille as soon as the sale to the Saudis is effective. “Everything is falling into place,” according to journalist Thibaud Vezirian.
The name of Zinedine Zidane is being heard more and more. According to the Saudi press, the 1998 world champion would be one of the priorities of the Saudi club Al-Ittihad in its search for a new coach following the dismissal of Nuno Espirito Santo. The Saudi club, however, is not the only one to have ticked the name of the former Turin player. It would be the same for Manchester United where the future of Erik ten Hag became a little darker after the defeat of the Red Devils in Copenhagen in the Champions League.
But for some observers, the hottest track leads to Olympique de Marseille. Radio Bleu Provence revealed at the beginning of the fall that the former playmaker had already given his agreement to Saudi investors to become the general manager of OM in the event of the club being bought by Saudi Arabia. . An operation which seems to be on track, at least if we refer to the comments of journalist David Berger on the set of Canal+, for whom the sale is ” on the right track “ and could even be concluded by January.
And for Thibaud Vezirian, who has been repeating for almost three years that the sale is imminent, the arrival of Zinedine Zidane is highly plausible. “And very clearly, the news after France Bleu Provence which announced the arrival as general manager of Zinedine Zidane in the event of a sale, and from Canal which announced that it will be sold faster than expected (but we are talking about it very very little – sic) – everything is falling into place towards the rescue of an OM who is tired of waiting for this change of era and this change of direction” he said for Team Football.
