Zinedine Zidane probably won’t coach Bayern Munich next season. The French coach would have difficulty facing failure, according to some.

What will Zinedine Zidane do next season? Will the former Real Madrid coach finally find a bench? Like almost every year since he left the Madrid club, the French tactician finds himself at the center of questions. It has now been more than two years and nine months since he last sat on a bench. Mentioned for a time by PSG, more recently by Bayern Munich or even Manchester United, “Zizou” remains without a club. For some, a certain fear could partly explain this indecision.

Physical trainer also consultant for the channel The Team, Olivier Rodriguez attempted an explanation Thursday evening. For him, Zinedine Zidane could be facing a somewhat blocking reality. “ Zidane won as a player and as a coach, in an implausible way. But the statistics would almost show us that it can only go towards failure. And as a project and career projection, it is not easy. There, he made three consecutive Champions Leagues, (…) his record is almost 100%. Going elsewhere, or even to Real Madrid, statistically, he has more chances of going towards failure than towards victory. »

End of career?

And for the observer, the end of Zinedine Zidane’s coaching career cannot be completely ruled out: “ It’s possible. » According to him, the fact that the coach does not want to go to a championship where he does not master the language is, for example, problematic. And more generally, the fact of soon being confronted with results that are necessarily less good than those he had during his time on the Real Madrid bench does not help. “ I say that it is a career project which is very particular, to statistically be able to aim for something which will be a little less good than what you have already carried out. »

Time therefore continues to pass and “Zizou” does not seem ready to return to service. Concern for motivation or not, he may have to end up resolving to choose a position perhaps a little less prestigious than that of coach of the French team which he has been waiting for for a long time now, or of coach of Real Madrid. Unless fate plays in his favor in the months to come.
