It was with a hangover that the supporters of Real Madrid woke up. Even if the news was dreaded, it is now official: Zinedine Zidane is no longer the coach of the White House. Winner of three Champions League with the Merengue, the Frenchman regains his freedom and sees new horizons opening up.
Go to Juventus
“I spent five years in Turin, Juventus is still in my heart”. Asked about a possible departure for Juventus last April, by Sky Italy, Zidane did not hide his love for the Turin club. Good thing, the club is looking for a replacement for Andrea Pirlo who failed to achieve the goals set (3th Serie A, eliminated in the round of 16 of C1). The story therefore seems already written. But Juve are in the throes of big financial problems and will not be able to offer Zidane a contract as good as the one he had at Real (12 million euros per year). Allegri, who will not go to Real, could return to Juve.
Wait until the place is free on the bench of the Blues
Noël Le Graët like Didier Deschamps himself has never hidden that Zinedine Zidane could be the future coach of the France Team. But DD is under contract until 2022, the day after the World Cup in Qatar. And, unless there is a catastrophe during the Euro (and again…) it is hard to see the adventure ending before December 31, 2022. Zidane could decide to wait by taking a year and a half of sabbatical leave, as he had already done so in 2018 after his departure from Real.
Come to PSG
If Nasser Al-Khelaïfi has long dreamed of Pep Guardiola, Zinedine Zidane is not far behind in the wildest hopes of the president of PSG… Bringing Zidane onto the bench of the club in the capital would be a real masterstroke, from the temper of that successful in 2017 with Neymar. And the president of PSG is the type to take up the challenge. Al-Khelaïfi could rush into the breach opened by the English media on Pochettino’s ill-being in Paris and do everything to attract Zidane. The opportunity to kill two birds with one stone by giving Kylian Mbappé all the good reasons to extend in the capital.
