The door to Real Madrid having closed with the extension of Carlo Ancelotti, Zinedine Zidane still does not know where he will return to service. His son, Luca, spoke about OM.
In five months, it will already be three years since Zinedine Zidane last coached. Having left Real Madrid after helping the club win three additional Champions Leagues, the former midfielder then hoped to be able to take over from Didier Deschamps on the bench of the France team. The latter having finally been extended by Noël Le Graët, “Zizou” found himself Gros-Jean in front and he still has not found a new challenge corresponding to his desires. Regularly mentioned on the PSG side before Luis Enrique arrived, Zidane also saw his name inevitably associated with OM. One of his sons also broached the subject.
A native of Marseille, Zinedine Zidane has never played with Olympique de Marseille. However, its origins have made it an icon of the city. At the time of his splendor as a player, and in particular his 1998 world title with the Blues, his giant portrait was displayed by one of the main sponsors of the French team on the facade of a building. And since he has been a coach, his arrival on the OM bench has become a true Arlesienne for Marseille supporters as well as a fantasy never before fulfilled. Could Zinedine Zidane finally coach Marseille? Luca Zidane provided his personal point of view. For the eldest of the four brothers of the couple Zinedine and Véronique Zidane, nothing is impossible.
“It’s not taboo, but…”
“ It’s not taboo to talk about my father for Marseille, but we don’t talk about it too much. He is the one who will make his decision on where he wants to go, where he wants to coach. Whatever happens, we will be happy with the decision he makes. » In this interview given to the media Square, Luca Zidane spoke about the idea of seeing his father on the PSG bench. “ Seeing him at PSG is a little more complicated “, he conceded with a big smile. Then speaking about his personal case, Luca Zidane clearly said that he was very willing to join Marseille. “ OM, I have always said it and I will always say it, it is the best club in France. Whatever happens, I will always support OM. In the family, we all are. (…) It was and still is a dream to play for OM.» The goalkeeper will perhaps one day see his dream come true.
