According to a report from Spanish journalist José Félix Díaz (as captured by @iMiaSanMia), Bayern Munich might be thinking about having a conversation with former Real Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane regarding the head coaching position in Bavaria:
Bayern have contacted Zinédine Zidane’s entourage in recent days to express their interest and find out about his willingness to return to coaching.
However, Sky Sport journalist Florian Plettenberg does not think Zidane is an option...at least not yet:
New rumors about FC Bayern and Zinédine #Zidane are wide of mark! ➡️ Been told there is no truth in reports that Bayern have contacted Zidane’s entourage in recent days. Zidane was discussed as a potential replacement when there were talks of Tuchel’s premature dismissal weeks ago. Now, Bayern are focused on #Nagelsmann as reported. De Zerbi remains on the list as well.
Fabrizio Romano backed up Plettenberg’s information on the situation in his work for CaughtOffside (as captured by @iMiaSanMia):
‘Zinedine Zidane – Linked again with the Bayern job, but I’m not aware of something advanced involving Zidane at this stage Bayern have considered many managers during the last months, top coaches like Zidane and Conte are free so it’s normal to discuss internally, but I’m still told that Julian Nagelsmann is the favourite candidate with Ralf Rangnick and Roberto de Zerbi still on the shortlist, based on what’s going to happen with Nagelsmann’ It does seem as is Julian Nagelsmann is the No. 1 candidate, but anything after the German national team boss is up in the air? Could the Spanish media have the jump on the Germans for this story?
It is doubtful, but you never know...
