Zinedine Zidane has rejected approaches from at least four European giants as he continues to wait for a dream return to management, according to a report.
Having cut his teeth as manager of Real Madrid's Castilla side, Zidane took charge of the senior side at the start of 2016 and won three consecutive Champions Leagues before leaving in 2018, only to return to Madrid in 2019.
Zidane added another La Liga title to his trophy cabinet before stepping down again in 2021 and he has been out of a job ever since, although mark insist that it is not from a lack of offers.
Indeed, Zidane is said to have turned down the chance to join Manchester UnitedJuventus, Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich in the last three years, while several big national teams are believed to have approached the Frenchman.
Zidane, however, is only interested in returning to management with one of two teams: Real Madrid or France.
Due to loyalty, Zidane does not see himself managing a club other than Madrid, with the French national team the only other outfit with significant emotional ties to Zidane.
It is noted that Zidane may reconsider his stance on an “extraordinary” offer, but he is in no rush to return to management and will not take another job unless he is completely satisfied with the offer.
As it stands, neither Madrid nor France are looking for new coaches. Carlo Ancelotti is signed at the Santiago Bernabeu until 2026, with Deschamps' contract with Les Bleus expiring in the same summer.
