While his name has been mentioned with insistence on the Algerian side, Zinedine Zidane would not necessarily make a good coach according to some.
The dream has passed for Algeria. After the fiasco of the African Cup of Nations and the departure of Djamel Belmadi, the Algerian federation decided to strike a big blow by attracting Zinedine Zidane, without a club since the end of his adventure at the head of Real Madrid. Discussions were held between representatives of the Federation and Alain Micciglio, the agent of the former playmaker, but the Marseillais politely rejected the proposal.
Almost twenty years after the end of his playing career, the former Turin player’s coaching experience is still limited to his years in Madrid, whether at the head of Castilla, the reserve team, then obviously during his two stints on the Real Madrid bench. Two successful stints including an incredible hat-trick in the Champions League and two Spanish championship titles.
However, some doubt that Zinedine Zidane will experience the same success at the head of a selection. Former Cameroon goalkeeper, Guy Roland Ndy Assembé, shared his doubts on the subject. “ I don’t know, because coaching a club and a selection is totally different. In the clubs, the players, we have them every day. There is a way to send a message more easily. In selection, we supervise the players from afar, we bring them together. Is everyone on board? “, he confided in the columns of 10sport.
“Zidane, we know the journey of the gentleman, of the player, and the journey of the coach… it’s true that it can make people dream, it can change. Just hearing his name changes things. Afterwards, a selection, I don’t know if that can do it,” he added.
