Zidane, Arteta, Vitinha... find the key information from Monday in the final stretch of the transfer window.


Zidane will not be the coach of the “Greens”

This time, it's not.

Approached by the Algerian Football Federation to take over from Djamel Belmadi, ousted following the defeat of the CAN,

Zinédine Zidane

will not be the new coach of Algeria.

According to

RMC Sport

, Alain Migliaccio, the agent of “ZZ”, would have transmitted the “polite refusal” of the former glory of the Blues during a meeting with representatives of the Federation this Sunday in Paris.

Still looking for a new coach, the FAF would turn to other avenues and would have notably checked the name of

Julen Lopetegui

, former coach notably of Sevilla and Real Madrid, and more recently of Wolverhampton.

Hojberg declines Lyon's proposal

After Nemanja Matic, OL will not welcome another experienced midfielder.

Approached by the Rhone club,

Pierre-Emile Hojberg

indicated that he did not wish to join the 16th in Ligue 1, according to

Sky Germany

.

The 28-year-old midfielder is however “open” to a new challenge outside of Tottenham, where his position has fallen in the midfield hierarchy since the arrival of Ange Postecoglu.

Vitinha pushed out by OM

The missed opportunity at the last minute against Monaco on Saturday (2-2) further damaged

Vitinha

's popularity with OM supporters.

A year after his arrival with great fanfare, the young Portuguese striker (23 years old) has never had a return proportional to the investment made by the Phocaeans (32 million euros), so much so that the management would already like to get rid of the former Braga player, author of only three goals this season.

Téléfoot

thus reveals that the Marseillais have already refused several loan offers and will only respond to transfer offers, even if the operation should obviously be far from the sum committed a year earlier.

Arteta, Klopp, Nagelsmann... who to succeed Xavi at Barça?

Xavi's succession is already being organized behind the scenes.

While the former Barça captain announced his departure on Saturday at the end of the season, two and a half years after his arrival, rumors are already rife as to the identity of his successor.

A name came up insistently on Sunday in the person of

Mikel Arteta

, whose Spanish press mentions the intention to leave Arsenal at the end of the current financial year to possibly take over Barça.

On the other side of the Channel, we formally deny the idea that Arteta will leave his post this summer.

Other names mentioned by the Catalan press:

Jürgen Klopp

(who will leave Liverpool at the end of the season) or even

Julian Nagelsmann

, under contract with the German Federation until the Euro.

A final candidate has emerged and would even be favorite according to

Bild

in the person of

Hansi Flick

, the former coach of Bayern free since his departure as coach of the Mannschaft.
