We do not know if Zinédine Zidane, in the sights of the Algerian federation, plans to become the coach of the national team of his country of origin, but Patrick Mboma, legend of African football, believes that it is largely possible.
After the new humiliation experienced by the Algerian team, with elimination from the African Cup of Nations in Ivory Coast in the first round, Greens supporters have crazy hope. Zinédine Zidane is in the sights of the Algerian federation for the succession of Djamel Belmadi, and a “ very important offer » was visibly in preparation on Friday according to RMC. Seeing “Zizou” take the reins of his country of origin (his father Smaïl is from Kabylie, his mother is from Marseille of Algerian origin) would not shock Patrick Mboma.
The former Cameroon star striker, double winner of the CAN (2000 and 2002), explained on RMC: “Delusional no, because you can’t underestimate what the heart can make you do and it has real reasons to put your heart into it. He is a coach for whom money is certainly not a driving force. Now, for Algeria to sign him, they have to pay what they have never paid to a coach”. Belmadi was the highest paid coach on the continent at 208,000 euros per month, while Zidane was paid three times as much at Real Madrid.
Rather Juventus than Algeria?
For the 2000 African Ballon d’Or, Zidane, who waited in vain for the position of coach of the France team (by refusing PSG on several occasions), could well study the offer. “But no, it’s not crazy. Do I completely believe it? Not completely, but it’s not crazy. If there are discussions about going to Juventus in June, they would be more considered by Zidane, but I don’t think he would reject a proposal from Algeria out of hand.thus launched Mboma in the show After CAN.
