Zinedine Zidane remains without a club since his last stint at Real Madrid. However, he continues to live in the Spanish capital.
As AS reported: the coach always keeps the same objective: to one day become the coach of the France team. He is waiting for a proposal.
Will he manage to realize his dream of succeeding Deschamps, whose contract ends after the 2026 World Cup?
The coach with an impressive track record who (perhaps) put his career on hold
On May 27, 2021, Zinedine Zidane announced his departure from Real Madrid one year before the end of his contract. Since then, three and a half years have passed. Zidane has become an “unusual” case, as Marca points out: “the story of a successful coach who has not set foot on the benches for more than three years, as if he had silently renounced a profession where he had reached perfection with Real Madrid”.
Between 2016 and 2018, then between 2019 and 2021, he won eleven trophies: 2 Spanish championships (2017, 2020), 2 Spanish Super Cups (2017, 2020), 3 Champions Leagues (2016, 2017, 2018) , 2 European Super Cups (2016, 2017) and 2 Club World Cups (2016, 2017). “An exceptional record which, until recently, placed him as the second most successful coach in the history of Real Madrid. Three consecutive Champions Leagues have become a benchmark in the world of football. However, Zizou has disappeared, and it's not for lack of proposals.”
Zinedine Zidane's future in football still sparks interest. His ambition to lead the Blues raises the question of the direction that French football will take in the years to come. Whether as national coach or in other projects, Zidane has the skills and status to tip the scales. What would be the implications of his possible return to the coaching bench? Fascinating discussions are emerging around this subject.
