Zinedine Zidane Reveals Real Reason Why He Won’t Join Manchester United

Zinedine Zidane has always stirred anticipation among the fans in the soccer sphere. The former Los Blancos coach has been in demand since he left the club in 2021, raking in astonishing numbers in his debut season. Many wonder why he hadn’t taken a managerial role at a top-flight club like Manchester United, especially before the arrival of Erik ten Hag. Zizou quenched the curiosity of his supporters as he made it clear that coaching is no child’s play and that there are multiple factors to consider.

Zidane has been extensively rumored to make a return to management very soon. Multiple clubs want to crown him the boss, but Zizou is being patient and he will only join when he feels he’s making the right call.

Why doesn’t Manchester United doesn’t suit Zidane?

Zinedine Zidane is a coach who has high standards, nothing surprising for a man who won three consecutive Champions League on his managerial debut. In an interview, Zidane shares the several elements and details that need to be looked into before joining a club as a coach. He states that things are different as a player and as a coach, as a player, he was more open to moving anywhere rather than now as a coach.

Sharing his insight into the coaching world, the Real Madrid icon tackled the question of why he hasn’t joined Manchester United, as he said, “For other reasons, I might not be able to go everywhere. Which ones? The language, for example. Certain conditions make things more difficult. When people say to me: ‘Do you want to go to Manchester?’ I understand English but I don’t fully master it.”

Zizou then further added, “I know that there are coaches who go to clubs without speaking the language, but I work differently. To win, many elements come into play. It’s a global context. Me, I know what I need to win. If I go back to a club, it’s to win. I say this in all modesty. That’s why I can’t go anywhere.”

In the current soccer realm, there is a drought in terms of good and experienced managers. With Zizou on the market, he has always been speculated to make a move to a huge club. However, this time the rumors are stronger and intensified than before. What can be Zizou’s next destination?
