Just now, according to the latest news brought by the British media Times Sport, there has been a reversal in the selection of the new coach of Bayern Munich. Zinedine Zidane's team came forward to refute rumours that the French coach would take charge of Bayern, and Manchester United emerged as the winners. Why? Zinedine Zidane has become the Reds' number one choice for the next manager.
It is reported that after Nagelsmann officially announced the renewal of his contract with the German national team until 2026. Many media have come out to say that Zidane is close to signing with Bayern Munich next, after all, there are only two goals for Bayern to change the coach. After one of them has been ruled out, Zidane is a sure candidate for the other. However, this is not the case, and Zidane has said that the main reason why they did not choose Bayern is because of language problems. Zinedine Zidane was not very fluent in German, and he was reluctant to teach in a completely unfamiliar and linguistically unspoken environment. That's why he didn't have in-depth negotiations with Bayern, the two sides did get in touch but didn't go into the nitty-gritty.
At this juncture, Zinedine Zidane is closer to joining Manchester United. According to Times Sport, in addition to Bayern, Manchester United also has a strong desire to let Zidane go to coach this summer. The team's new owner, Sir Ratcliffe, has been unhappy with Ten Hag's results in charge and some of his actions. He wants to change the manager at the end of the season, and it is Zinedine Zidane that has been agreed upon by the United hierarchy. Objectively speaking, Zidane was also quite related to Manchester United before. As early as the past few years, Manchester United have tried to invite him to coach on several occasions.
The closest thing he came to was when Zidane even received a formal contract from Manchester United, and he was just short of signing to become the new manager of the Red Devils. But unfortunately, in the end, because the wife of the French coach did not like the bad weather in Manchester, Zidane temporarily gave up out of care for his family. Now that the two sides have come to the negotiating table again, it can be said that they are continuing the frontier. It is worth mentioning that an insider revealed that Zidane himself is also looking forward to coaching Manchester United, and he is eager to return to the coaching post next season.
Objectively speaking, Zidane's choice to return at this stage is an appropriate time, and he has no other choice. He had been at home until now, mainly because of his desire to coach the French national team. But in the case of Deschamps' contract extension, Zidane's desire to pick up the national team coaching whip has been disappointed. Therefore, if you want to return to the coaching box, you can only accept an offer at the club level. Obviously, at this point, the contract given by Manchester United is just right. For the French coach, Manchester United are in ruins. Due to the average results of the previous managers, the initial public opinion pressure on him to take over Manchester United next season will not be too great.
At the same time, Manchester United's current squad is in fact reasonable, and if it can be adjusted, the overall improvement is obvious. Especially for a high-level coach like Zidane, what he is best at is turning a team that doesn't look good into magic. What's more, Manchester United's main squad is not bad at all, and under Zidane, it may be able to become the first team in the Premier League, which is the main reason why the two sides decided to join forces. And after returning to the dugout after a three-year hiatus, the French boss will definitely want to prove himself with a big team. And the Premier League, as a league he has never socialized with, is a place where everything is mysterious and full of challenges. In addition, for Manchester United, Ten Hag's coaching effect is still a little worse after all, and the team's hierarchy has been disappointed in him.
And in the next step, it is the team's first task to sign Zidane. Compared with continuing to strengthen the squad in the transfer market, the effect of choosing a reliable manager is often more obvious. At present, according to the feedback in the transfer market, it is only a matter of time before Manchester United invite Zidane next. So in your opinion, can the French coach return to the top with Manchester United in the trough?
