Amid news of his fate, Zidane made it clear that he still had “zealousness” to continue his career as a coach, despite his absence from the bench for a year after his departure from Real Madrid.
“I want to finish, I still have this illusion. Football is my passion. But I am almost 50 years old and I am satisfied. I am happy and that is the most important thing,” he stated in an interview with Telefoot on the occasion of his birthday.
But Zinedine Zidane will not be the next Paris Saint-Germain coach. This information came from RMC Sport, which confirmed that the Marseille coach only wants to coach the French national team after the World Cup in Qatar.
Despite this, the former Real Madrid coach does not close the door to training the Parisian team in the future, but his goal at the moment is only to take over the French national team.
Over the past few months, Qatar has gone to great lengths to make Zizou their next coach. In Doha, the premise was clear, although the Qatari leaders were unable to convince him to succeed Pochettino on the bench at Paris Saint-Germain. The Argentine, who has been in prison for months, will be sacked in the next few hours.
The current French champions are already negotiating with Nice for Christophe Galtier to be Pochettino’s successor. After Zidane’s “no”, Al-Khelaifi and Luis Campos began work on the new coach, so negotiations are expected to intensify in the coming days once Pochettino officially leaves.
