Zinedine Zidane may return to coaching.
Former Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane may return to coaching.
According to the publication L’Équipe, the legendary Frenchman can take the vacant position of head coach of the Brazilian national team.
The Brazilian Football Confederation is considering Zidane’s candidacy after the dismissal of Tite, under whose leadership the “pentacampeons” were eliminated from the 2022 World Cup at the quarter-final stage, sensationally losing to Croatia.
Until it is clarified whether Zidane himself is interested in this work.
It should be noted that Vinicius Junior and Casemiro play in the Brazilian national team, with whom the Frenchman is well acquainted from working together in Real Madrid.
Let’s add that Zidane is not the only candidate for the post of coach of the Brazilian national team. The leadership of the Brazilian Football Confederation is also considering the options of inviting Mauricio Pochettino, Thomas Tuchel and Rafael Benitez to the national team.
We will remind, during the period of his coaching career, Zinedine Zidane worked only in Madrid “Real”. The Frenchman led the “cream” twice: from 2016 to 2018 and from 2019 to 2021.
Under the leadership of Zidane, Real Madrid won the Spanish championship twice, the Spanish Super Cup, the UEFA Super Cup and the Club World Cup, and also became the winner of the UEFA Champions League three times.
