This summer could be the time when fans witness the return of Zinedine Zidane.

Zinedine Zidane won all noble titles at both player and coach levels. He is a legend of French football, famous captain at Real Madrid. He won the World Cup and EURO with Les Bleus as a player, and also won the Champions League three times in a row with Real Madrid as a coach.

However, Zidane is considered to have been “incognito” for too long. This is difficult to understand for a coach at the peak of his career. Many people regret it because since leaving Real Madrid in the summer of 2021, Zidane decided to take a long-term rest to wait for the right opportunity.

There has been much speculation regarding the future of the former French player. Even after the 2022 World Cup, the media said Zizou was invited to lead the US team but refused. Zidane is said to really want to lead the French national team.

Initially, experts predicted that Zizou would take on the role of captain of Les Bleu, replacing Didier Deschamps after the 2022 World Cup. However, the French Football Federation decided to continue to put their trust in Deschamps, making the dream come true. Zidane’s has not yet come true.

Last February, Zidane affirmed that he wanted to return to coaching but made no move. There have also been rumors regarding the future with Man Utd. However, everything just stops at the rumor level.

Zidane himself admitted: “When people say to me, do you like to come to Man Utd? I can hear English but am not fluent in this language.

I know that there are managers who come to clubs without speaking the local language, but I am different. To win, there are many factors, namely the global context. I personally know what I need to win.”

  Zidane is about to reappear in the summer of 2024.

But in the context that Man Utd is going through a period of instability, and at the same time there are many better options, Zidane sees summer 2024 as the right time to return. There, Bayern Munich is considered the new destination of the French legend.

Mundo Deportivo reported that Zidane is getting closer to leading Bayern Munich. Negotiations are ongoing. Zidane also asked the Bayern leadership to quickly strengthen their forces this summer, especially in defense.

Bayern Munich is a club that meets the criteria Zidane wants. The Allianz Arena team is one of the big names in Europe, with financial stability and clear medium and long-term projects, which help the club be capable of competing for all titles.

The football world can no longer see Zidane play football, but his excellence on the coaching bench is still clearly visible. But Zidane has been off for too long and now it’s time for the French legend to really shake up the soccer world.
