Zinedine Zidane’s inclination toward managing Manchester United may resurface following a change of perspective.
Having solely guided Real Madrid, where he clinched three Champions League titles across two tenures, the esteemed French coach has remained unoccupied since departing Madrid in 2021, although he has been associated with various clubs since then.
Recent reports have linked Zidane with the top managerial position at Bayern Munich, following the impending departure of Thomas Tuchel, as confirmed by Bayern and Tuchel themselves.
With Bayern currently trailing the Bundesliga leaders by eight points and facing a challenging path to Champions League qualification, Zidane’s interest in Munich has piqued.Previously, Zidane had declined opportunities in countries where he lacked proficiency in the language.
However, as per German publication Bild, this stance appears to have shifted. Despite his lack of fluency in German, Zidane is purportedly intrigued by the prospect of coaching Bayern.
He perceives Bayern as akin to Madrid—an esteemed club with a rich history and favorable working conditions.This newfound willingness to surmount language barriers potentially opens avenues for Zidane, including a future managerial role at Manchester United.
Although he had withdrawn himself from contention for the United job before Erik ten Hag’s appointment, the evolving circumstances suggest a shift in Zidane’s approach. While the Bayern Munich role may seem more appealing than that of United, Zidane’s altered stance implies that he could be positioned to lead United to success in the future.
