Zidane back on the bench for… Marseille or Monaco? – Sport.fr
For Rothen, Zinedine Zidane must return to Ligue 1 next season… but not to Paris Saint-Germain.
Announced as Qatar’s favorite to replace Mauricio Pochettino on the Paris Saint-Germain bench next season, Zinedine Zidane still does not know what his future will hold. One thing is already certain, the return of Zizou to the French championship owes a lucky brand: the President of the Republic Emmanuel Macron. Former PSG player Jérôme Rothen also validates Zidane’s return to France, but rather prefers other Ligue 1 clubs.
“President Macron does not cite PSG. He just wants Zidane to come back to a French club.”explained the former footballer at the microphone of CMR. “For the influence of France, no problem. That such a talented and charismatic guy comes back to France, every day, but not to PSG! Zidane must give back everything he received here in France. In terms of image, it would be great for France. But not in Paris! It’s like Galtier. Club identification is important. My criticisms of this choice are on that, not on athletic skills. Zidane is a legend. He won the Champions League with Real Madrid. My discourse is not paradoxical. Zidane has been keeping the secret for three weeks. Why isn’t he talking? I don’t want him to go to PSG, but rather to OM or Monaco. »
