Zidane Finalizes Coaching Staff Amid Man Utd’s Manager Search
Zinedine Zidane is reportedly working on assembling his coaching staff as he aims for a significant role with the French national team. The former Real Madrid manager is expected to take charge after the 2026 World Cup, with discussions about his potential appointment underway.
Zidane’s Coaching Staff and Future with France
While the French Football Federation (FA) has not publicly announced their interest, conversations have indicated Zidane’s future involvement. Key discussions have already included potential staff appointments.
- David Bettoni, Zidane’s former assistant at Real Madrid, is expected to join his team.
Managerial Changes at Manchester United
As Zidane eyes the France position, Manchester United also faces a managerial search. The club is currently operating under interim manager Michael Carrick following the recent dismissal of Ruben Amorim. The search for a permanent successor is ramping up.
- Thomas Tuchel, Luis Enrique, and Gareth Southgate are potential candidates for Manchester United.
- Oliver Glasner has confirmed he will leave Crystal Palace after this season, increasing his availability.
- Xabi Alonso is currently without a club after being dismissed by Real Madrid.
Future Prospects for Other Clubs
The managerial landscape extends beyond Manchester United. Pep Guardiola at Manchester City has hinted at future changes, emphasizing the need for the club to prepare for his potential departure.
Guardiola stated, “I’m happy here, I want to stay. Always results decide. At the end of the season, we’ll see.” This uncertainty could prompt City to begin their own managerial search.
As major clubs prepare for shifts in their coaching staff, Zidane’s intentions for his future remain a focal point in the football world.
