It has now been more than three years since Zinedine Zidane stopped coaching. However, the French football legend does not hide during his rare media appearances his desire to return to service. And it is not for lack of having received offers. Yes, but the 98 world champion has very specific requirements and is not inclined to return to the bench if all the conditions are not met.
In recent years, Zinedine Zidane has been approached by Premier League clubs, such as Manchester United. Proposals rejected by the former number 10 of the Blues, who explained this in the columns of The Team.
Manchester United still dream of Zidane
“I understand the English language, but I don’t master it completely. I know there are coaches who don’t speak the language of the country they work in, but I work in a different way. There are a lot of things that come into play if you want to be successful in your job, and I know what I have to do to win “, had said “Zizou”.
It remains to be seen whether Zidane has taken English lessons since these statements. Because Manchester United, who have had a complicated start to the season (7 points in 5 games), could well come back to the charge… According to information from Daily MirrorSir Jim Ratcliffe, the new shareholder of the Red Devils, still dreams of attracting the Marseille native in the event of the departure of Erik ten Hag, who is increasingly weakened. It is up to the British businessman to find the right words to convince the Frenchman.
