Football is a real spectacle, not only on the green rectangles but also behind the scenes.
As PSG comes out of another missed season on the European scene, a revolution is announced in the club of the capital.
The Parisian management manages to extend Kylian Mbappé, and very quickly a rumor surfaces.
Who else but Zinédine Zidane, winner of three consecutive Champions Leagues at the helm of Real Madrid, to lead Paris Saint-Germain and his Galacticos.
The appearance of this rumor on June 10 caused a stir and only really ended when Christophe Galtier was officially appointed PSG coach.

According to Le Parisien, Zinedine Zidane would never have been a priority for Luis Campos, the new sports adviser of the Parisian club.
If discussions have already taken place between the 98 world champion and the Parisian management in the past, this was absolutely not the case during this transfer window.
Our colleagues specify that it is the clan of the Marseillais itself which would be at the origin of this leak.

Zidane-Deschamps, a position for two with the Blues
This maneuver was intended to put a form of pressure on the French Football Federation.
ZZ's entourage would like to see him take charge of the Blues after the World Cup (November 21-December 18) and would not be satisfied not to be in control of the file.
Indeed, internally the current coach of the Blues, Didier Deschamps, would be seduced by the idea of continuing until Euro 2024 if France performs at the 2023 World Cup in Qatar.
In our columns in Le Figaro, he said on Friday that he did not feel worn out at all.
To see Zidane at the head of the France team, we will therefore have to wait a little longer.
