Jim Ratcliffe eyes Zinedine Zidane as Manchester United’s next manager! With Ten Hag under pressure, Zidane is a top candidate. Stay tuned for more updates! 🏆⚽
Spanish sources suggest that Sir Jim Ratcliffe is interested in appointing Zinedine Zidane as the next Manchester United manager. Zidane is being considered as a potential successor to Erik ten Hag, whose future at the club is under increasing scrutiny due to poor performance this season.
Manchester United’s difficult start to the campaign, which has left them in 14th place in the Premier League with just four points from their first three matches, has amplified concerns over Ten Hag’s leadership. Both the fans and the club’s hierarchy are growing impatient with the ongoing lack of success.
As speculation grows about possible managerial changes, Ratcliffe is reportedly leaning towards Zidane as his preferred candidate. However, convincing the French football icon to take the helm at Old Trafford may prove challenging. Zidane has previously shown interest in managing the French national team, and his unfamiliarity with English football and the language could pose additional obstacles in negotiations.
Despite being away from coaching since 2021, Zidane remains a highly coveted figure in the football world. Manchester United had considered bringing him in last season but ultimately decided to continue with Ten Hag. Should the club opt for a change, other potential candidates being mentioned include Thomas Tuchel and Gareth Southgate.
Recently, Zidane fueled speculation about his return to coaching by attending a Real Betis training session, where his son, Elyaz, was involved.
