Free since his departure from Real Madrid, Zinedine Zidane is expected in Marseille. But his arrival is in no way linked to the succession of Sampaoli.
OM: Zinédine Zidane in Marseille for a good cause
While his name is circulating insistently on the side of PSG in the event of the departure of Mauricio Pochettino,Zinedine Zidane is expected in the next few hours in Marseille. But his arrival in the Marseille city is not linked to a possible departure of Jorge Sampaoli.
Free of any contract since his second broadcast from Real Madrid, the French technician is expected this Friday in the La Castellane district (16th arrondissement), where he grew up, to inaugurate a new digital medical center (MMD). The man with three consecutive Champions Leagues accompanied by the neurosurgeon Philippe Metellus, who launched the project on the initiative of a former resident of the district, Dris Kanes.
The objective of this project is to facilitate access to medical care for the inhabitants of the district. In comments reported by Provencethe doctor Philippe Metellus specifies that the 98 world champion was aware of the project from the start. “From the start, Zinédine Zidane has been kept informed of the progress of this file. It was important for him that we could open this service., did he declare. Note that Philippe Metellus is a longtime relative of the Zidane family. He took care of Zizou’s older brother (Farid, who died in 2019 following a long illness). ” It’s not a secret. I am taking care of his older brother. We stayed in touch. It was even his family who contacted me so that I could find a solution and allow the city to have access to decent care,” he said.
Zidane is very attached to Marseille
If today Zinédine Zidane no longer lives in La Castellane, he still remains deeply attached to his old neighborhood and to the city of Marseille. Recently, Zizou even declared his love for OM. Failing to have worn the colors of the Marseille jersey, the former Real Madrid and Juventus midfielder hopes to one day serve as a coach at Olympique de Marseille. But the idea of seeing him bounce back at the Parisian rival has been gaining momentum in recent weeks.
