“I spoke to Zidane in Madrid and he told me that these are the only three clubs he would like to accept,” Zinedine Zidane is open to managing these three teams according to former Real Madrid teammate
If Manchester United decides to let go of Erik ten Hag, Zinedine Zidane is reportedly being considered as a possible replacement by owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe.
At Old Trafford, major changes have already been implemented as a result of INEOS’s acquisition of a 27.7% share in Manchester United.
Since the team’s 2-1 home loss to Fulham on Saturday, there has been increased concern about Ten Hag’s future at the organisation, leading to stories of his possible termination.
Ten Hag’s future with the team is still out in the air as he approaches the summer when his contract at Old Trafford comes to an end.
After a dismal season, Ratcliffe is allegedly unsure about keeping Ten Hag at Old Trafford, according to MEN Sport.
In the midst of this uncertainty, Brighton manager Roberto De Zerbi has surfaced as a possible candidate that United is taking into consideration.
Nonetheless, Zidane is regarded by Foot Mercato as the “dream” addition, and the club has a general desire to acquire his services.
The former French international, who left Real Madrid in 2021, has been connected to a number of prestigious European teams. Zidane’s transfer to Paris Saint-Germain has previously piqued the curiosity of Ineos CEO Jean-Claude Blanc.
Zidane’s possible recruitment to Old Trafford has been a recurrent subject of discussion, with rumours growing more intense after past managerial changes, such as Ralf Rangnick’s interim term in 2021.
Even with the persistent rumours, Zidane’s command of the English language has been mentioned as a possible obstacle. Due of his linguistic barriers, he has previously voiced doubts about managing in the Premier League.
In an interview regarding the possibility of Zidane joining Manchester United in the summer of 2022, he acknowledged his fluency in English while highlighting the value of communication in coaching.
He underlined the delicate dynamics involved in winning at the highest level and stressed the necessity of multiple things aligning to achieve success.
Zinedine Zidane’s possible arrival is one of Manchester United’s major goals as they consider managerial changes during an unclear time for Erik ten Hag’s future with the team.
