Zinedine Zidane was recently hired by Manchester United to take over as head coach from Erik ten Hag. This decision came after ten Hag led the team to a string of underwhelming results since the beginning of the current campaign.

A report by a Spanish journalist named Eduardo Inda indicated that Man United had made contact with Zinedine Zidane, a former coach at Real Madrid, to formulate a strategy for replacing Erik Ten Hag. This year at Old Trafford, the future of the Dutch head coach has been in question due to the unsatisfactory play that Manchester United has consistently delivered. Most recently, the Red Devils’ skipper appeared to be headed for a disappointing conclusion after their loss to Brighton by a score of 1-3.

Zidane is one of the most successful coaches in the history of football, having won three straight Champions League titles with Real Madrid in 2016, 2017, and 2018 in the first term. According to the aforementioned source, the leadership of the Red Devils has absolutely no reservations about Zidane’s ability. Zidane’s second stint with Los Blancos, which ran from 2019 to 2021 and lasted until 2021, was marked by the club’s ongoing success as it claimed one more La Liga championship and one more Spanish Super Cup. Zizou was eventually recognized as one of the top five most successful coaches in the history of Real Madrid.

In point of fact, Manchester United once made touch with Zidane about taking over as head coach at the club after Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was let go in November of 2021. Despite the fact that he had previously acknowledged that he aspired to be the manager of a team in the Premier League, the legendary French football player at the time categorically declined the offer. According to rumors, the reason for this is Zizou’s desire to take over as head coach of the French national team following the conclusion of the 2022 World Cup, which will be held in Qatar.

Didier Deschamps was rewarded for his continuous success as a coach by the French Football Federation with a new contract that runs until the year 2026. This wish of Zinedine Zidane was not granted. Because of this, the seat at Old Trafford is better suited for Zidane than it has ever been. Reports from journalist Eduardo Inda suggest that Manchester United is planning to offer Zidane a massive contract in the hopes of luring him to the club. If successful, this would make Zidane the highest-paid coach in the world.
