Zinedine Zidane Awaits Next Coaching Opportunity in Madrid
Zinedine Zidane, residing in Madrid, is patiently awaiting a coaching role that aligns with his ambitions, particularly eyeing the French national team position.
Zinedine Zidane, the esteemed French coach, continues to reside in Madrid, anticipating a suitable coaching opportunity that matches his professional aspirations. Following two successful tenures with Real Madrid (January 2016–June 2018 and March 2019–June 2021), Zidane has remained without a managerial position, despite his expressed desire to return to coaching. His primary ambition is to lead the French national team, a goal he has openly acknowledged. However, with Didier Deschamps extending his contract until 2026 after guiding France to the World Cup final, Zidane's desired role remains occupied.
At 54, Zidane maintains his interest in managing the national team, a sentiment echoed by his close associate, Christophe Dugarry, during a recent RMC program. Zidane's illustrious playing career includes winning the 1998 World Cup and Euro 2000 with France, further fueling his aspiration to coach Les Bleus. In the interim, Zidane leads a tranquil life in Madrid with his family, away from the public eye, yet remains open to significant projects that align with his standards and principles. While offers have emerged from various clubs, including those in Saudi Arabia, Zidane appears inclined to await the right opportunity, potentially with the French national team.
