In recent days, the name of the 1998 world champion has in any case circulated on the side of Manchester United, which has separated from Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. For Fred Hermel, Spanish football specialist for RMC Sport, this rumor is unfounded. “They made the force, but Zidane said no, he does not want to go to England”, he assured this Monday evening in the After Foot.

He did not necessarily receive a direct offer, but that he had contacts, it is obvious. grown-ups in football all contact each other regularly. ” From there to find common ground? “Zidane coach of Paris Saint-Germain, to me that does not seem impossible to me, estimates Fred Hermel. Zidane player of PSG, as a Marseillais it was complicated, but as a coach … People said to Zizou: ‘You are a professional, and when you are a coach you can coach Paris Saint-Germain’. “

Taking PSG at the end of the season would however mean giving up a possible succession of Didier Deschamps … Would Zizou be ready to make this choice? “Zidane is waiting for the France team, confirms Fred Hermel. Afterwards, you never know what can happen … I say that it is not impossible, even if it is not topical, that he goes one day to PSG. Yes, he is waiting for the France team. But can we say today with certainty that Deschamps will leave after the World Cup in Qatar? result, and that he wants to stay? “
