It was never nailed on. Some papers decided to ignore a big point which was that Deschamps had already been offered the job last year. There was only two options for Zidane to become the new manager, that Deschamps decides to leave or that France has a terrible World Cup and the FFF change their mind.
Zinedine Zidane - 3 time CL winning manager without a job
- Thread starter Bastian
- Start date
Doesn’t he have next door to no interest in coming to England? At least that was the narrative around him when Solskjaer was being sacked.
I thought his next moves were either France, Juventus or PSG if they threw enough money at him.

The senile man at the head of our pedophile federation had quite a lot of things to say about Zidane uh?

"Did Zidane try to contact me? Certainly not and I wouldn't even have picked up the phone. To tell him to look for another club? Make him a special (radio) show so he can find a new club or a national team"
On the Brazil rumors
"I don't give a damn, he can go wherever he wants. He can go wherever he wants be it a club or a national team, I barely believe it as far he's concerned"

Juventus is looking like a no go for anyone but a Serie C manager.
sensible. get someone in who knows the league inside out after they get relegated for their dodgy finances.
Folks, the link of Zidane with Juventus is just hot air… Deschamps was our man but he is staying put and ok.
You were after Deschamps?
We love comeback kids, you know… he was the midfield admiral under Lippi and our coach in Serie B, so the owners have a debit with him. Our latest sh*tstorm, though, might have scared Deschamps and rightly so.
Deschamps has signed a new deal which takes him up to the '26 WC.
Could see him going to Chelsea when Potter gets the axe.
He would have been a good option but I didn't know or expected Juventus to be interested. I still think that they didn't treat him well in 06-07, he should have been the manager the following season.
So they don't get along then?
Who the feck is this guy to disrespect Zidane like this?
Zidane and Deschamps hate each other, so do their agents.
Le Graet needs Deschamps to survive because Deschamps's popularity and results + his willingness to turn a blind eye to all the corrup stuff that happens in the federation (sexual harassment, pedophilia accusations) are the only thing that allow Le Graet to remain in place.
That is serious stuff.
Le Graet is a world class idiot and likely/hopefully screwed. He is getting re-auditioned Tuesday and by the look of it, he isn't handling it well.
that guys head looks like a scrotum
Hopefully he resign soonWhat has Madrid got to do with any of this?
Le Graet saying his words do not reflect what he thinks of Zidane will sure give fuel to the narrative that it was Deschamps speaking through him (Daniel Riolo on the most watched French football podcast is already affirming it)
I actually quite admire the guy for only wanting to coach clubs that he has an emotional attachment to as opposed to just going anywhere for the money. Especially given that Marseille represent an uphill struggle in their own league against an oil club that would be thrilled to have Zizou as manager.
I wonder if he'd be up for coaching Algeria? He's dual nationality and often attends their matches as a fan.
