Former Real Madrid -Baas Zinedine Zidane is expected to return to football in 2025.
The French coach has been away from the Dugout since his departure from a second spell in the Spanish capital in April 2021.
Despite a considerable gap to be out of the game, the stock of Zidane remains high, based on his sensational time at the helm of Los Blancos.
The former midfielder led the club to two La Liga titles and three consecutive UEFA Champions League trophies -with the latter an achievement that had never been done or repeated before since then.
Links to a Premier League relocation are not developed with Zidane who are very rumors to continue the job of the national team of France.
The current Les Bleus leader Didier Deschamps has confirmed that his plan to resign after the FIFA World Cup 2026 next summer and Zidane is the red-hot favorite to take over.
It is an open secret in French football that Zidane wants the course to offer its support for a return to a return for one of the most iconic players in France.
However, a deal is not easy and Zidane can be offered a club track before Deschamps continues.
According to reports from the Italian Outlet Gazzetta Dello Sport, one of the other former Zidane clubs is also interested in a reunion, where Juventus is considering dismissing Thiago Motta.
Motta made the switch to Turin, after an exceptional campaign 2023/24 in Bologna, while he led the club to a very first Champions League qualification.
However, he is under pressure after a mixed first year at Juventus, while they are fighting to guarantee the UCL qualification for next season.
The report claims that Zidane is not the only potential candidate, with Igor Tudor and Roberto Mancini also considered, but he is the 'dream choice' of certain board members as Motta continues.
Zidane will probably not make a decision about something until the summer, where he will speak with the French FA after the final of the Nations League, if they are eligible.
