Zidane, PSG: Another bombshell coming?

According to reports, French manager Zinedine Zidane is likely to take charge of Paris Saint-Germain FC in summer 2022.

PSG President Nasser Al-Khelaifi has shown that he and the Qatari organization behind the team are always open to drawing bombshells in the transfer windows as they have done so in the several past seasons.

And of course, the last summer was super exciting for Parisian fans as they added superstar Lionel Messi to the team besides Sergio Ramos.

Now reports indicate that the Paris-based club intends to give the mission of managing the team to Zidane, a long-time professional footballer and coach who has numerous awards and honours in his personal collection. During his nearly 6-year stay in Real Madrid, he won three UEFA Champions League, two La Liga, two Supercopa de Espana, two UEFA Super Cup, and two FIFA Club World Cup titles.

Zidane has been without a team since May 2021 when he parted ways with Real Madrid.

In a report, Spanish newspaper Marca described Zidane as a perfect choice for PSG as he is able to create a fantastic atmosphere in the team.

On the other hand, the current manager of the team, Mauricio Pochettino seems unhappy with the job. Earlier reports pointed to his interest in taking charge of Manchester United.

Meanwhile, prominent sports journalist Daniel Riolo from RMC believes, whatever happens, Zidane will be the next boss of PSG in the upcoming summer.

The reporter claims that even if PSG achieves the dream of winning the UEFA Champions League, Pochettino will no longer remain as the head coach and Zidane will replace him.

Zidane seems to be an expert in winning the UEFA Champions League as he is the sole manager who has won three back-to-back titles with Real Madrid between 2016 and 2018.

Such a transfer can enhance the betting odds for PSG especially in the Champions League competitions and those interested in betting activities should notice this in the upcoming season. The Champions League competition has fans as well as bettors from all over the world whether in South Africa or those who follow betting news in Thailand or anywhere else across the globe.

Back to the PSG case, there is also another point that needs to be discussed about Zidane’s move to Paris and that is his relation with rising star Kylian Mbappé. The star’s contract with PSG ends in June 2022 and he has been linked with a move to Real Madrid. Almost everyone knows that Zidane did his best to hire the French striker at the time when he coached the Spanish team but to no avail.

Some believe that with Zidane coming to Paris, Mbappé may opt for having a longer stay in the team but others, including Riolo, say that these transfers do not depend on each other and anything can happen.

Another interesting aspect of Zidane’s Paris move is that he will have Messi on his side, a player that he had probably feared most during his long years at the helm of Real Madrid.
