David Bettoni is closely linked to Zinédine Zidane. The two coaches have been friends since childhood and their joint stay at AS Cannes. The first followed the second when the latter signed for Juve and has been his assistant coach since the end of Zidane’s career.

Guest of After Foot on RMC SportDavid Bettoni revealed his friend’s methods: “I had my ideas since I was a youth coach for eight to nine years. I asked him: ‘What is football that you would like to offer as a coach?’ We talked about playing principles, different organizations, how to get the ball out. We spoke above all about complementarity and the notion of pleasure. He said to me: ‘When you’re going to help me prepare for the training sessions, I want the notion of pleasure to be at the heart of your exercises. I want the player to want to come back when he gets home. ‘ I was marked by these words of Zidane »

?? “The word that came up a lot with Zizou was: ‘I want the notion of pleasure to be at the heart of all your exercises’. He is an atypical trainer.”

On its technical palette and its relationship to the media

“He’s an atypical coach, he doesn’t talk a lot about what he does in the media. He’s always been like that. But when you talk about football with him, you feel that he has been through a lot, that he was trained by great coaches and that he thought long and hard before becoming a coach. He prepared. He needs us to synthesize our ideas. He has a very important tactical palette that he reserves for his staff and his players. Zidane has ideas, and he spends a lot of time talking individually with his players. “

For his part, David Bettoni announced that he would no longer follow his mentor and that he wanted to embark on a solo career: “at the end of the season, when Zizou told me he wanted to take a step back , he said to me: ‘You have to go for it, you were made for that, and the players know it’. I decided to start as number 1. I am ready to take a first division team, in Ligue 1 for example. I am open to all championships but I am French, and I know the French championship very well ”
