Reports have suggested that Zinedine Zidane is going to complete a coaching agreement with Bayern Munich, but he has a preference for being in charge of Manchester United instead.
Zidane, 51, is closely watching Erik ten Hag’s performance at United while he approaches an agreement with Bayern. He is perceived as the fuel that can cause immediate victory given his brilliant record including three Champions League and two LaLiga titles during his time at Real Madrid.
Zidane, while considering how easy it would be to win trophies at Bayern, reflects on the difficulties he will face adapting to life in Bavaria and overcoming the language barrier since he only speaks very little German.
According to L’Equipe, should Bayern fail the bsct fast, United might capitalize on the opportunity to open a talk with Zidane.
Zidane is deterred from moving over to Bayern Munich because of his ambition of leading the Old Trafford squad.
United has had a difficult season and this has led to speculations about probable managerial changes. Given the risk of United’s participation in European competitions, Ten Hag’s position appears uncertain, and even winning FA Cup may not save him.
Zidane is prepared to replace Thomas Tuchel at Bayern according to Mail Sport.
It has been a poor season for Thomas Tuchel but he will still remain until the end of the season with chances of making it to the UCL.
The fact that they are financially stable, have exceptional talents, great history and a relentless pursuit for major honors makes them an attractive option.
Nevertheless, Zidane’s better understanding of English than German might tempt him towards Old Trafford.
United’s investor has recently invested £1.3bn for a significant stake in the club and is instigating changes at Old Trafford against this backdrop.
He sees such an opening at Bayern Munich following Tuchel’s imminent departure this summer. On the other hand, INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe, among others in new United regime, have not sat on their laurels as Omar Berrada from Manchester City becomes new CEO while Dan Ashworth will be sporting director when his sabbatical ends.
It is reported by ESPN that there has been no contact between Zidane and Bayern unlike L’Equipe and various Spanish media outlets suggested..
