If the Qatari leaders of Paris SG dream of Zinedine Zidane, they are not the only ones. With the sidelining of Rudi Garcia, the bosses of the Saudi club Al Nassr checked the name of the Frenchman for a place on the bench. According to Marca, they would be ready to offer … 60 million euros per season to the former Real Madrid coach. If the name of José Mourinho is also whispered, the profile of Zidane is at the top of the list of Saudi training.
Without a club since leaving Real Madrid in 2021, and eager to lead the France team before Didier Deschamps extends his contract until 2026, “Zizou” is free and inclined to find a job. His name was announced in Paris, Manchester, Turin or again in Madrid if Carlo Ancelotti (under contract until 2024) were to leave his post.
Suffice to say that sportingly, the proposal of Al Nassr, who managed to enlist Cristiano Ronaldo last winter, should not seduce Zidane. Financially, such a stratospheric amount would make him the highest paid coach in the world. Very discreet in the media, Zidane is not against a new challenge and knows he is expected for the rest of his career. An arrival in Saudi Arabia would be surprising. To say the least.
