Zidane has become a substitute for Paris Saint-Germain, according to British TV

After emerging as the first choice to take charge of Manchester United, who sacked Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, Zinedine Zidane has now been speculated as a target for PSG. According to the BBC, Zidane could take over the club to replace Mauricio Pochettino, who was considering leaving the French team to accept the project to take over Manchester United, and thus return to the Premier League.

And according to information published by British newspapers, the Manchester United board of directors made an official contact with Zinedine Zidane even before Solskjaer’s resignation. However, the Frenchman turned down the offer for two reasons: not wanting to live in England and the understanding that he still needed more time away from the football routine.

In addition, Zidane has an interest in leading the French national team and was waiting for an official invitation to take charge of the team in search of a new World Cup title, but this time as a coach. Despite this, Didier Deschamps, the current France coach, has done a great job and is unlikely to be replaced. Another alternative for Zidane is to accept the management of a French club and remain in the country.

With a possible proposal from Paris Saint-Germain, Zidane is close to leaving his “sabbatical” to return to lead the club. Last season, he was coaching Real Madrid, but he left the Real Madrid team due to the arrival of Italian Carlo Ancelotti. Despite this, the French press has ensured that the coach’s big dream is to lead Olympique de Marseille, the club in the city where he was born.

Even in the face of that goal, Zidane could be persuaded to lead another all-star team, in this case PSG. The coach has already had a positive period at Real Madrid in a team that includes many high-quality players, something that can be repeated at PSG. However, information about a possible trip by Zidane to the French club was indicated only by the English press, which guarantees rumors about the departure of Mauricio Pochettino from the club.
