PSG changed tactics to convince Zinedine Zidane to come to Paris, but the former Real Madrid captain headed for an unexpected stop.
Zidane is still resting after deciding to retire from the role of Real Madrid head coach at the end of May 2021. The plan of the ‘bald man’ is to take over the French national team Didier Deschamps after the 2022 World Cup.
Zidane is sought after by many teams but has been away from coaching for the past 2 years
However, Zidane ‘s plan failed when his old teammate continued to extend and hold the Blue shirt at EURO 2024 as well as the 2026 World Cup.
According to L’Equipe, despite being rejected by Zidane last year, PSG still identified the French football legend as the number one priority to replace Galtier this summer.
This source also confirmed, sporting director Luis Campos will have little say in the selection of this new head coach for PSG, after bringing back Galtier unconvincing.
Instead, the Qatari bosses will be the main deciders. Chairman Al-Khelaifi had a meeting with the owner of PSG to discuss this. The Paris team believes that it will be easier to convince Zidane now, because he no longer has the opportunity to be the head coach of the French team.
Zidane is not convinced by PSG’s project
However, sources say that Zidane is still not convinced by PSG with the job in Paris, with the project they offer.
Not only ignoring PSG, but Zidane also doesn’t care much about Al Nassr’s money, where his former student Ronaldo is at the end of his career. Instead, the once famous former player headed to a surprising new destination: Juventus!
Regardless of the difficulties, even the risk of not participating in the C1 Cup next season, but Zidane is more attractive to the old team – where he had great years when he was still playing.
However, Zidane’s arrival in Turin to lead Juventus depends on Allegri, who still has a contract until the summer of 2025. This leader has just brought Juventus to the semi-finals of the Europa League.
In Serie A, they also received good news, being returned 15 points to help Juventus jump to 3rd in the rankings after 30 rounds, 3 points ahead of Roma and 6 points behind AC Milan in 5th place. .
