Zinédine Zidane will not be the new coach of Bayern and, if he is in the sights of the leaders of Manchester United, the French technician is not at all the one who makes the followers of the Red Devils dream.
Time is getting long for Zinédine Zidane… Three years after his departure from the Real Madrid bench, and while he waited in vain for the position of coach of the France team (Didier Deschamps having extended until 2026) , he hopes to soon take on a new challenge at the head of a very large European club. However, the 51-year-old technician sees opportunities disappearing as the next offseason approaches. He may not return to the game this summer.
“Zizou” was visibly in the sights of Bayern leaders (according to Mundo Deportivo And The Team), but the Munich club has defined a shortlist composed of Julian Nagelsmann, Unai Emery and Ralf Rangnick. The first mentioned continued at the head of the German selection beyond Euro 2024 (to everyone’s surprise) and the former PSG coach did the same with Aston Villa. As for the current coach of Austria, he is expected in Bavaria. While waiting for the availability of Jürgen Klopp, soon on vacation after his nine years at Liverpool…
United are waiting for Tuchel!
But Zidane should not take charge of Manchester United either. The Premier League giant has been in decline for years but is embarking on a new era, more focused on sporting issues than financial ones. This is the mantra of the management installed by British billionaire Jim Ratcliffe, who bought a third of the club from the Glazer siblings. Jean-Claude Blanc, the general director of Ineos Sport, is a big fan of the 98 Ballon d’Or.
However, the choice of Man United should instead turn to Thomas Tuchel, who will leave Bayern. The German strategist is unanimous among the followers of the residents of Old Trafford. In addition to knowing the Premier League and having won the Champions League with Chelsea in 2021, the former PSG coach is an ultra-modern tactician, obviously adept at gegenpressing. When Zidane, certainly winner of three consecutive C1s with Real, is a more conservative coach.
