PSG Manager Forced to Speak About His Potential Replacement Zinedine Zidane: “Not Up to Me to Decide”

Club Managers have one of the toughest jobs in the world, as they give their all and rarely receive something in return. However, sometimes, a manager creates a team so successful that the records are simply unbelievable. Former Real Madrid manager, Zinedine Zidane, is one such manager.

Quite possibly one of the most successful managers in the game, Zidane has won it all in his relatively short time managing Real Madrid. He managed Madrid for almost five years during his two stints at the club and is currently looking for his next team.

Several teams have been mentioned in the running for Zidane’s signature, with clubs like Paris Saint Germain and Manchester United routinely being linked to the French World Cup winner. In fact, Zidane has also been linked with the French national team’s managerial position.

Mauricio Pochettino talks about Zidane’s possible future at PSG

Former Tottenham Hotspur manager, Mauricio Pochettino, is the current manager of PSG and the Argentinian has also been heavily linked with the Manchester United job. As rumors rise surrounding his exit, the manager spoke about Zinedine Zidane being his successor at PSG.

“I don’t know, it’s not up to me to decide. Zidane is a great coach, that’s for sure. Also, he is French. That’s a question for the director or the president,” Pochettino said.

Pochettino has one of the best squads in the world at PSG, and hence, his job is always under scrutiny. The Parisian club have underperformed massively this season, and if they fail to beat Real Madrid in the UCL Round-of-16, Pochettino might be sacked soon.

Zinedine Zidane and the trophies he has won with Real Madrid

Zidane is the only manager of the modern era who has won three consecutive UEFA Champions League titles in a row. The Frenchman has also won two La Liga titles, the second one being all the more impressive as Real Madrid were playing without several top stars.

The 49-year-old has won the Spanish Super Cup twice, along with winning the UEFA Supercup and the FIFA Club World Cup two times too.
