Mercato: Zidane at Bayern? We'll talk about it again, but...

Thomas Tuchel will try to offer a new Champions League title to Bayern Munich, with a semi-final to follow against Real Madrid, but his departure at the end of the season is no less confirmed. The Bavarian club hoped to repatriate Julian Nagelsmann. The latter, however, decided to return to the head of the German selection. According to Mundo Deportivo , FC Bayern wasted no time and recalled the good memories of Zinédine Zidane, with the Catalan daily assuring “that an agreement is close to being found between the two parties”! False, we respond from Sky, once again denying the contacts between “ZZ” and the Munich club. For L'Equipe, the Zidane track does, however, exist in Bavarian minds, without guarantee.

The name of Ralf Rangnick is also put forward, with a view to a short mandate while waiting, possibly, to attract Xabi Alonso, who has decided to stay at least one more season on the bench of Leverkusen, German champion . Sky is not convinced that this track is much hotter, although Rangnick met with the leaders of the “Rekormeister” recently. Note that L'Equipe, which cites a third name, that of Roberto De Zerbi, stationed at Brighton, also suggests that Zinédine Zidane "would also carefully look at the situation at Manchester United", where Erik ten Hag could leave. Which Zidane, 51, has been free since his departure from Real in 2021. He has long cherished the dream of taking over from Didier Deschamps on the bench of the France team, in vain. He now wants to coach, with ants in his legs. To see if the language barrier is an obstacle, in England or in Germany.
