The British newspaper “Daily Mail” revealed that Al-Hilal club tried to lure French coach Zinedine Zidane with a huge financial offer during his period away from coaching, but these attempts did not succeed in attracting him.
According to the Spanish newspaper AS, Zidane has shown no interest in returning to coaching except in two specific cases: leading the French national team or returning to Real Madrid.
In the same context, the same reports, cited by the Daily Mail, indicated that Zidane is close to returning to the world of coaching by taking over the leadership of the French national team after the end of the next World Cup, succeeding his compatriot Didier Deschamps, his former teammate in the national team.
Reports also revealed that several clubs sought to sign Zidane during his absence, including Chelsea, who "strongly pursued" him earlier, without specifying the timing of those attempts. The London team has had a number of coaches, both permanent and temporary, including: Thomas Tuchel, Graham Potter, Frank Lampard, and Mauricio Pochettino.
It is worth noting that Zidane is considered one of the most prominent coaches in recent years, after leading Real Madrid to achieve 9 major titles during his two stints, including 3 consecutive Champions League titles between 2016 and 2018, before leaving his post at the end of the 2020-2021 season.
