Zinedine Zidane would rather join Manchester United than take over at Bayern Munich, according to the Mirror
The Frenchman has been out of work since 2021 but it seems he is now considering a return to club football.
The paper reports: “Bayern are in the market for a new manager to replace the outgoing Thomas Tuchel at the end of the season. The Bavarian giants had been keen on re-hiring Julian Nagelsmann after Euro 2024, but the 36-year-old has now signed a new contract with the German national team.
“That has set tongues wagging about Zidane, who remains without a job ever since leaving Real Madrid in May 2021. The former midfielder has been linked with several roles over the past three years, and has been approached by the United States, Brazil and Algeria, but has decided to bide his time for the perfect job.
“It has previously been suggested that Zidane does not want to take an international position unless it came with France.
“The arrival of Sir Jim Ratcliffe and his INEOS team at United in February has put Erik ten Hag’s future under the microscope, with United seventh in the Premier League. Ratcliffe and Sir Dave Brailsford have drawn up a shortlist of potential replacements for the Dutchman and Zidane is reportedly intrigued by the project at Old Trafford.”
