Zinedine Zidane may be PSG’s new coach in the coming weeks in the event that Mauricio Pochettino ends up leaving the French capital. The rumor that emerged yesterday afternoon in England has become a reality in France, which takes for granted that, in the event that the Argentine coach ends up signing for Manchester United, Zidane will be the one chosen to arrive in the French capital.
In fact, and as reported Le Parisien, PSG has already had several previous contacts with Zidane to make him their new coach. The former Real Madrid coach maintains a great relationship with Al Khelaïfi and the club, as he is a shareholder through the QSI fund and became an ambassador for the Qatar World Cup. What’s more, in Paris they see his signing as a possibility to convince Mbappé to stay in the French capital, since Zidane is an idol in France and his touch with young people could be decisive for him to end up renewing.
Since leaving Real Madrid, Zidane wants to train a team as soon as possible. Despite the fact that all the pools give him the favorite to succeed Deschamps for the World Cup in Qatar, nothing is assured for the Marseille, who could succeed Pochettino. The Argentine coach wants to leave Paris after having discrepancies with Leonardo and not having room for maneuver in decision-making.
