The famous Zinedine Zidane has returned to coaching this year – the 53-year-old specialist will take over the French national team after the World Cup.

"L'Equipe” reports that in recent seasons several teams have tried to lure the decorated strategist, but they ended up empty-handed.

These include London’s "Chelsea,” Paris’ "Saint Germain,” and "Al Hilal.”

It is said that the Arabs particularly tried hard, promising a contract of unimaginable value.

Z. Zidane has been resting since 2021 when he left the coaching position at Real Madrid.
