Daily Mail slightly contradicts the idea that Zidane is looking at the United gig, as they report that speculation is mounting that the Frenchman will take over at Bayern Munich
Bayern need to replace Thomas Tuchel at the end of the season, and Julian Nagelsmann is no longer available.
“Bayern Munich are closing in on appointing a new manager, director Max Eberl has revealed, with speculation over Zinedine Zidane being the No 1 choice hotting up,” the paper reports.
“Zidane has remained out of work since departing Real Madrid after his second spell in 2021 but his time out of the dugout looks set to come to an end this summer.
“Indeed, reports have linked him with the imminent vacancy at the Allianz Arena with current boss Thomas Tuchel set to depart at the end of a rollercoaster campaign.
“Julian Nagelsmann, who previously took charge at Bayern between 2021 and 2023, snubbed surprise interest from his former club after penning an extension to stay at the helm of the Germany national team until after the 2026 World Cup.
“That has left Zidane in pole position although Eberl was reluctant to discuss specific names. He did, however, confirm the search was poised to come to an end, with the club keen for the new coach to be in place before the end of the month.”
