“Zizou” completed its second experience with Real Madrid in 2021 after failing to win trophies in the last session in “Santiago Bernabau”
The legendary midfielder had won the Champions League title with Real in his first experience three times in a row, while raising La Ligas' trophy in 2017 and 2020, writes “Express”.
It was linked to many possible crossings in European clubs from that time, while it was the favourite to replace Eric ten Hagun in Manchester United.

However, French media report that Zidane is closer than ever before to return management to football but not to club level.
“Le Parisien” reports that former Real Madrid Juventu football player is the favourite to assume Didier Deschamps' position as France's National Selector.
The idea is for Zidane to replace Domps after the 2026 World Cup, while the medium “L Equipe” reports that the current coach will hold a press conference today to reveal the decision to leave the “Tricolors” after the race to be held in the United States, Canada and Mexico next year.
Deschamps had taken over the National since 2012, and is one of the most successful selectors in France's history, becoming only the third coach to win the World Cup, as a player and coach.
