Zinedine Zidane: Huge update emerges on United managerial target
Zinedine Zidane: Huge update emerges on United managerial target Zinedine Zidane has long been linked with the hot seat at Manchester United, but it looks unlikely that he will take charge at Old Trafford this year. The Red Devils are in the market for a new manager this summer after parting ways with former head coach Ruben Amorim in January. The Portuguese oversaw a turbulent 14 months in charge at the Theatre of Dreams, which included a 15th-place finish in the Premier League last season.
Amorim made significant changes to the squad last summer and invested over £200 million in new signings. However, with results failing to improve, the English giants parted ways with the Portuguese and appointed Michael Carrick as caretaker manager until the summer. The Englishman has registered seven wins and two draws in his 10 games in charge, helping the Red Devils climb to third in the Premier League table.
While Carrick remains among the candidates vying for the full-time job, United are yet to make a final decision on the matter. Zidane’s managerial credentials have seen him linked with the Red Devils for a while, and those rumours have refused to go away. Highly successful Real Madrid stint After enjoying great success with Real Madrid as a player, Zidane also left his mark at the Santiago Bernabeu as a manager.
The Frenchman notably won the Champions League on three consecutive occasions during his first stint with Los Blancos. Zizou won two LaLiga titles and two Supercopa de Espana trophies over two spells with the LaLiga giants. He also lifted the UEFA Super Cup and the FIFA Club World Cup twice during his time at the Santiago Bernabeu.
