“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
Manchester United’s owner, Sir Jim Ratcliffe, is reportedly considering Zinedine Zidane as a potential replacement if Erik ten Hag is let go by the club.
Following INEOS’ acquisition of a 27.7 percent share in Manchester United, considerable changes have already begun at Old Trafford.
Ten Hag’s position at the club has become increasingly questionable since the team’s 2-1 home defeat to Fulham on Saturday, which sparked rumours of his removal.
As Ten Hag enters the final year of his contract at Old Trafford this summer, his future with the club is uncertain.
Ratcliffe is allegedly uncertain about keeping Ten Hag at Old Trafford after a dismal season, according to MEN Sport.
Despite this uncertainty, Brighton’s manager, Roberto De Zerbi, has surfaced as a potential successor being evaluated by United.
However, there is a strong desire within the club to secure Zidane’s services, whom Foot Mercato refers to as the “dream” addition.
The former French international, who left Real Madrid in 2021, has been linked with several top teams in Europe. The current CEO of Ineos, Jean-Claude Blanc, has previously indicated interest in bringing Zidane to Paris Saint-Germain.
Zidane’s prospective employment at Old Trafford has been a reoccurring issue, with conjecture growing during past management transitions, such as Ralf Rangnick’s interim spell in 2021.
Despite the continuous rumours, Zidane’s English proficiency has been identified as a potential impediment. He has previously expressed misgivings about managing in the Premier League because of his limited language skills.
During the summer of 2022, Zidane discussed the possibility of joining Manchester United, admitting his English fluency while emphasising the necessity of communication in coaching.
He emphasised the need of multiple forces working together to create success, emphasising the complex dynamics required in winning at the highest level.
Manchester United’s prospective recruitment of Zinedine Zidane signals a huge objective as they consider managerial changes in the face of uncertainty about Erik ten Hag’s future with the club.
