5 reasons why Real Madrid legend Zinedine Zidane would never manage PSG

Zidane would not give up on his dream of coaching the France national team

In 2019, France National team manager Didier Deschamps talked about who he thinks could be the next French national team coach. To that, he said, “The next coach could be Zizou. At one point or another, it’ll be him.”

Earlier this year, when Zidane left Real Madrid for the second time, there were reports about him rejecting literally every single club offer so that he’s able to take up the France national team job whenever it becomes available. He thinks it could be either after the 2022 World Cup, or after the 2024 European Championships. Even French FA president Noel Le Graet wants him to take over from Didier Deschamps when it’s time, according to the same source.

Simply put, no other job makes more sense for Zinedine Zidane. We can talk about the PSGs and the Manchester United’s all day long. But, when it comes to a move that makes sense, this one right here takes the cake. Zinedine Zidane loves France, and France loves Zidane back. It’s a match made in heaven: It’s the perfect team for Zidane, and he is the perfect coach for them.

When you look back on his time as Real Madrid head coach, especially in his first tenure, you look at a team of superstars slowly moulded into an almost unbeatable team, led by the person who has won it all himself, and knows how to keep the players calm, in shape and ready for the biggest of games. Zidane knows what it’s like. For a World Cup-winning team that has an amazing crop of players right now, there is simply no better coach to manage all the egos in the dressing room.

Zidane has mentioned it himself, he knows he’d want the job at some point. He has a way of dodging the questions about his future or about transfers, but it just feels right, having him coach France. Nothing can make him give up on his big dream.
