FC Bayern seems to be an attractive employer for Zinedine Zidane, who is being discussed as Tuchel's successor.
This became clear during a visit nine years ago.
Munich - Thomas Tuchel will leave FC Bayern in the summer - the search for a suitable successor begins.
Zinedine Zidane is one of the candidates at FCB.
The Frenchman seems to be very impressed by the work and the atmosphere in the club, as he made clear during a visit to Säbener Straße around nine years ago.
Zidane was impressed by FC Bayern's training center
As part of a coaching course run by the French Football Association, Zinedine Zidane visited FC Bayern and was impressed by the club's infrastructure: “It's my first time here.
I’ve been to the city a few times, but this is my first time in this fantastic training center.”
The 1998 world champion said: “It's not quite as big as other European clubs, but it's very familiar.” The Frenchman described the facility as “magnifique” (translated: “beautiful”).
At that time, Zidane was still the coach of Real Madrid's second team.
About ten months later, he took over the first team of the Royals and led the Spaniards to, among other things, three Champions League titles during his two terms in office.

Zidane to FC Bayern?
Football legend enthusiastic about the atmosphere in the club
Zinedine Zidane also praised FC Bayern's organization and atmosphere at the time: “The impressions I had before have been confirmed.
It's a super organized club with football experts." The then 42-year-old also said: "Bayern is a big club, one of the top 5 in the world, but at the same time it remains very familiar.
I am very impressed."

You can really feel the “lust for football” and the “very precise philosophy” of the German record champions.
Apparently, nine years ago, Zidane confirmed that the club had a working environment in which the now 51-year-old could feel comfortable.
Because even if the wind on Säbener Straße is currently blowing a little harsher due to the ongoing sporting crisis, the fundamental values that the club stands for remain unchanged.
