“He told me exactly that…” I can only Join Manchester United on one condition- Former Manchester United Boss Zinedine Zidane has too Sir Jim Ratcliffe he will only come to United on Only one Condition
Zinedine Zidane has talked about the “only three roles” he would take on with Thomas Gravesen, a former Real Madrid teammate.
The 51-year-old hasn’t had a job since 2021, when he left Real Madrid for the second time. He is still being linked with a lot of jobs, both at the foreign and club levels.
He turned down the chance to lead Algeria’s national team not long ago, even though the interest in him as a replacement for Djamel Belmadi “flattered” him.
Yesterday, the French newspaper Foot Mercato said that INEOS and Manchester United backer Sir Jim Ratcliffe “dreams” of replacing Erik ten Hag with Zidane.
The CEO of INEOS Sport, Jean-Claude Blanc, has admired Zidane for a long time and even tried to hire the Frenchman when he was at Paris Saint-Germain.
Where will he end up? As rumours about Zidane’s future continue to swirl, his former Real Madrid partner Thomas Gravesen has shared an interesting look into his mind.
In a recent interview with Discovery+, Gravesen talked about a chat they had two years ago.
“I talked to Zidane in Madrid two years ago, and he told me that there are only three roles he would like to take on,” the former Denmark player remembered.
“Those are Marseille, Madrid, and France.” He told me that exact thing when we were in Madrid two years ago. I also asked him if he would be willing to teach again. “And he told me that these three were not possible.”
Along with the links about the Manchester United job that were already stated, Gravesen brought them up again.
He also said, “I think the team he had in Madrid was great, and he was ready from the start.”
“In the United the situation is different, it is very difficult to do something with the team that Ten Hag has at the moment.”
When a movie came out last month, Zidane talked about his plans for the future. When asked if he planned to become a coach again, Zidane said, “Why not?” Anything could happen.
“But I’m doing something else right now.” I’m sure I’ll be back on the bench; I want to be a teacher again.”
