Zinedine Zidane has rejected approaches from at least four European giants as he waits for a dream return to management, a report claims.
After cutting his teeth as manager of Real Madrid’s Castilla side, Zidane took over the senior team at the start of 2016 and won three consecutive Champions Leagues before departing in 2018, only to return to Madrid in 2019.
Zidane added another La Liga title to his trophy cabinet before departing once again in 2021 and has been out of work ever since, though Mark Insist it’s not for lack of offer.
Indeed, Zidane is said to have turned down the chance to join Manchester UnitedJuventus, Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich in the past three years, while several giant national teams are also believed to have approached the Frenchman.
However, Zidane is only interested in returning to management with one of two sides: Real Madrid or France.
Due to loyalty, Zidane does not see himself managing any club other than Madrid, the French national team being the only other outfit with a significant emotional connection to Zidane.
It is asserted that Zidane may reconsider his stance on the “exceptional” offer, but is in no rush to return to management and will not take another job until he is completely satisfied with the proposal.
As it stands, neither Madrid nor France are looking for new managers. Carlo Ancelotti has signed at the Santiago Bernabeu until 2026, with Deschamps’ contract with Les Bleus expiring in the same summer.
