Zidane: future in the air

A few months before putting an end to the season, the future of Zidane is anyone's guess. Though has a contract until 2022, the Frenchman constantly avoids ensuring his continuity next season. “I do not look beyond the day to day. I do not plan anything“, he commented at the last press conference when asked if he would continue next season, confirming that he has not made a decision. Although it is a common way of working in him, the atmosphere has become rarefied in recent weeks.

There is pressure from two teams for Zidane to leave Real Madrid next season. The one that has shown the most interest has been the french team, who has openly assured that he has the former player for when Deschamps I left the position of selector. “If Didier leaves him and I'm still here, the first person I would see would be Zidane“, he recently assured Noel le graet, president of the gala federation. Deschamps has a contract until 2022, but a bad role for his team in the Eurocup it could speed up its march.

The other entity that is tempting Zizou is the Juventus. The bad moment of the Italian giant, eliminated from the Champions in the round of 16 and with him Scudetto very complicated, it has caused an earthquake that could kill his coach, Andrea Pirlo, removed from office even before the season ended. If this happens, the number one goal of the Juventinos is Zidane, where he already played as a player before signing for Real Madrid.

In case the atmosphere was not cloudy enough, candidates for the white bench have begun to appear. The main one is Raul, which is having a great season with him Castile and part of Real Madrid is already requesting him as coach of the first team. As well Joachim Löw, who will leave the German team after the Eurocup and, according to German media, he would be learning Spanish in the face of his concern to reach The league. Although the results are still positive (alive in League and in rooms of the Champions), Zidane still has part of Real Madrid against, who asks him for a more consistent game and does not understand what happened with footballers like Odegaard or Jovic.

Whatever happens, the board trusts the French and he values ​​very positively what is being achieved this season taking into account all difficulties (injuries, pandemic, calendar …). In addition, they value the gesture he had when returning to Real Madrid in 2019 at such a difficult time. On the part of the club, its continuity is assured.
