Frenchman Zinedine Zidane set to become PSG manager
Zinedine Zidane is now the favourite to replace Mauricio Pochettino as Paris Saint-Germain manager.
The 2017 Best Fifa Men’s coach of the year has won 11 titles as Real Madrid coach and he his set to coach one of the biggest club in French capital.
According to reports, there has been a breakthrough in negotiations between the former Real Madrid boss and PSG.
Despite PSG boss, Mauricio Pochettino winning the Ligue 1 title this season, there’s a probability that he might be sacked at Parc des princes, following a disappointing champions League outing.
PSG is the biggest club in French Ligue 1 with the champions League trophy, the only cup missing in their cabinet. But, Mauricio Pochettino failed to deliver it with top class players in the team.
Zidane has long been linked with the managerial role but he’s now closer to the position amid a reportedly eye-watering offer from one of the richest club in the world.
The Frenchman has been out of managerial duties since his second departure from Santiago Bernabeu in 2021.
During his first spell in charge of Los Blancos between 2016 and 2018, Zidane won LaLiga in his first season and a remarkable hat-trick of Champions League finals.
PSG hierarchy sees him as the man to bring in the trophy they have been waiting for.
