Zinédine Zidane is considered one of the most sought-after coaches on the market.
He is also traded at FC Bayern Munich.
Now he has spoken about his future.
Munich – Thomas Tuchel’s days at FC Bayern Munich are numbered.
The current coach will manage the sporting fortunes of the German record champions until June 30, 2024.
After that they will separate - the Munich-based company confirmed this on February 21st.
Zinédine Zidane as coach at FC Bayern Munich?
Many well-known candidates
Since then, there has been wild speculation about Tuchel's successor.
Who will take over the position?
First of all, FC Bayern introduced a new sports director, Max Eberl, who promptly commented on the desired profile of the future coach at his first press conference.
Xabi Alonso is currently considered a hot candidate, while Lothar Matthäus, on the other hand, could easily imagine Sebastian Hoeneß at Bayern.
And what about Zinedine Zidane?
The name of the French football legend has also already been thrown into the candidate pot.

Bayern fans will listen carefully: Zidane talks about a possible coaching comeback
Now the world and European champion from 1998 and 2000 has publicly commented on the coaching rumors surrounding him for the first time.
He has announced a return to business.
The Bayern fans who want Zidane as a coach will certainly have heard the statements with goodwill.
But: Zidane did not speak explicitly about a commitment to Munich.
“At the moment I'm doing other things, we'll see, but I'm sure I'll be on the bench again.
I would like to do that,” the 51-year-old told
Sky Sport Italia
on Monday evening on the sidelines of an event in Rome.

Zidane announces coaching comeback: “Anything can happen”
Asked whether he would soon make his comeback as coach in Italy, Zidane said: “Why not?
Anything can happen.” Zidane last coached Real Madrid until 2021.
He celebrated great success as a coach with the Royals, including winning the Champions League three times, the Spanish championship twice and the cup twice.
Since then there has been constant speculation about a coaching comeback at various clubs.
For example, at the English Premier League club FC Chelsea, at his former club Juventus Turin, as a French national coach - or at FC Bayern.
Zidane speaks neither German nor English – insurmountable hurdle for Bayern job?
Zidane's lack of knowledge of German and English (French, Italian, Spanish) is repeatedly interpreted negatively when it comes to a job in Germany or England.
Bayern sports director Eberl explained at his inaugural PK that language was not an exclusion criterion.
The new coach should already be able to speak German or English.
