Zidane makes management decision
Zinedine Zidane is keen on a return to football management this summer but is aware that Real Madrid will not be his destination.
Zidane has been out of work since leaving Real Madrid in the summer of 2021 and was linked to the Manchester United hot seat last season. He was approached by United officials in late 2021 amid the dismissal of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer but poured cold water on any move to English football.
