Zinedine Zidane hints at an imminent return: “I’ll be managing a new team soon”

French football legend Zinedine Zidane has once again set the football world alight with a brief but highly significant statement. The former Real Madrid manager has confirmed that he is ready to return to the dugout after several years away.

“I’ll be managing a team very soon,” Zidane told international media, hinting that his new deal is close to being finalized.

Zidane has not managed any team since 2021, when he left Real Madrid, with whom he won three consecutive Champions League titles, making history as one of the most successful managers of the last century.

Following this statement, European media immediately began speculating about his next destination. According to French sources, Zidane remains the leading candidate to take charge of the France national team after Didier Deschamps’s tenure ends.

In another interview with NDTV Sports, “Zizou” added:

“I’ll return to the dugout again… one day I want to manage the France national team.”

For now, it remains unclear which team will be his new one, but one thing is certain — Zinedine Zidane’s return is very close.
