Since his departure from Real Madrid in June 2021, many clubs and teams have tried to bring Zinedine Zidane back into training, but the French star is still hesitant, according to press reports.
And on Sunday, the famous sports newspaper “L’Equipe” published that the last wish to get the services of “Zizou” was the American first team, but its officials failed to convince the former Real Madrid star.
It appears the FA is looking for a new coach, in light of head coach Greg Berhalter being investigated over allegations that he kicked his wife in 1991.
According to “CNN,” the NFL released a statement, revealing it was aware of the allegation, and launched an investigation with the coach on Dec. 11.
Berhalter admitted to his abusive behavior towards his wife 32 years ago, but said he was 18 at the time, and that was after he and his wife drank alcohol “the night of the incident” in a bar. before an argument broke out between them, which continued outside, and he “kicked her in the legs”.
While investigations into Berhalter, who led the US team to the round of 16 of the World Cup in Qatar, continue, the Football Federation is looking for a replacement to lead the team in the 2026 World Cup, which the United States will host with Canada and Mexico.
According to L’Equipe, Zidane has already received an American offer to succeed Berhalter and lead the national team, which includes many promising talents in major European clubs.
But ‘Zizou’ rejected the American offer, the financial details of which were unclear, knowing that the heads of the Portuguese and Brazilian national teams would also express a desire to sign him, but received the same response from the US federation, reportedly from the Spanish newspaper “Marca”.
Zidane does not want, according to French media, to take responsibility for any other team except for his country France, who finished second in the last World Cup in Qatar, but achieving this wish is now unlikely after Didier Deschamps extended his contract as coach of the “Roosters” team until 2026.
It appears Zidane, 50, will now only be available to coach clubs, noting that he has achieved impressive results in training with Real Madrid, most notably winning the Spanish league twice and 3 consecutive Champions Leagues.
