Zinédine Zidane at Bayern Munich.
It is still far from being done but, according to several media, the Bavarian club is thinking very seriously about Zizou to succeed Thomas Tuchel on the bench.
According to Sky Sports, the Frenchman is of interest to German leaders, who would be determined to part ways with the former PSG coach at the end of this season.
The German technician could even leave his bench before the end of the current exercise even if this does not seem to be the path favored by the highest authorities of Bayern.
Among the names circulating to replace him is that of Zinédine Zidane.
According to the Italian newspaper Corriere dello Sport, contacts have even been established between the two parties.
At 51, the Frenchman has been on the market since the end of his adventure with Real Madrid in 2021.
Xabi Alonso also mentioned
His name has often been mentioned in recent years to take the head of the France team or find that of Real Madrid.
But in both cases, Didier Deschamps, after the world final of the Blues in 2022, and Carlo Ancelotti, once considered coach of the Brazilian national team, extended their contract and thus remain in position.
In the recent past, Juventus Turin has also been mentioned as a possible avenue for Zinédine Zidane.
But the affair had not gone further than the rumor.
Just like PSG or very recently the Algerian national team.
Today comes Bayern Munich, who would therefore think of “ZZ”.
But not just him…
On the Bavarian shelves, Xabi Alonso, the current coach of Leverkusen, who is heading towards a German championship title, would appear at the very top of the short list.
Still according to Corriere dello Sport, three other names were mentioned: Hansi Flick, José Mourinho and Antonio Conte.
