Without a club since the end of his adventure at Real Madrid, Zinedine Zidane could take back the reins of a selection. With an XXL check at stake.
Zinedine Zidane is a busy man. If he no longer officiates on the sidelines since he slammed the door of Real Madrid in the spring of 2021, the former playmaker gives time to his team.
“I take care of my children, my grandchildren too, since I recently became a grandpa. My life is full, and that’s the most important thing for me,” he recently confided.
However, the 1998 world champion has never hidden his wish to return to service. “It’s always my goal to become a coach again. There, I take more time to do other things, that’s all. But the goal is to come back,”
he said in the spring. However, the summers pass, the requests keep coming and Zinedine Zidane tirelessly refuses the offers.
A check for €50 million to convince Zinedine Zidane
Recently, Manchester United would have once again approached those around them to test the waters. A complete loss. For many, the native of Marseille is only waiting for a place to become available on the bench of the France team, even if it means having to wait until the 2026 World Cup. Some, however, dream of diverting him from the Blues. This is particularly the case for the leaders of the Saudi federation.
According to Calcio Mercato, Saudi Arabia is in the process of parting ways with Roberto Mancini, as much for his results at the head of the selection as for some of his declarations, and would have made Zinedine Zidane its top priority. If several other avenues are mentioned, first and foremost those leading to Hervé Renard, the former coach, the Frenchman represents “the ultimate dream” of the Saudi leaders. And according to certain local sources, Saudi Arabia would do anything to convince the Frenchman, even offering him emoluments of around 50 million euros annually. An XXL check capable of changing the Frenchman’s position?
