The past few months have seen Paris Saint-Germain being hotly linked to former Real Madrid manager Zinedine Zidane and these reports have grown in intensity.
According to Marca, PSG’s intention to hire Zidane is a reality. Adding to that, the Spanish media outlet even states that there’s an existing proposal already in place, and that as far as the PSG dressing room is concerned, the 49-year-old’s presence is considered a pending and incoming for the 2022-2023 season.
It is also alleged that manager Mauricio Pochettino and PSG have decided to at least proceed with the current arrangement until the end of this season, with the Champions League being still their primary objective.
Apparently Manchester United’s keen interest in Pochettino has made Zidane’s return to management closer, only that both sides thought it would perhaps be best to start a project from scratch, and that is expected to be on June 30.
With Kylian Mbappé’s contract set to expire in June, bringing in Zidane could be the wildcard that can see the 23-year-old sign an extension, at least on a short-term basis.
