France and Real Madrid Legend Zinedine Zidane Hints of Returning to Coaching Soon. Zinedine Zidane has provided insight on when he will return to management, after being out of job since exiting his role as Real Madrid boss.
Zidane last managed Los Blancos, where he vacated his position as head coach after the 2020-21 season, revealing there is a disconnection between the club’s top hierarchy and himself.
Since vacating his post, the former France midfielder has been linked with a number of high-profile clubs including Paris Saint-Germain, where he was considered as the favourite to assume the hot seat following the sack of Mauricio Pochettino.
However, the three-time World Footballer of the Year suggested he will prefer to handle his native country, which is currently managed by former teammate Didier Deschamps.
Speaking to RMC Sport, the former Real Madrid manager has admitted he will return to management soon, but will bide his time for the right job to come along at the right moment.
“Do I miss being a coach – no. I’m never too far away from a job. But we’ll wait a little bit. Soon, soon. But hey, I’m just enjoying it now,” Zizou said as quoted by Get French Football News.
