If Didier Deschamps stays at the helm of the French national team, Zinedine Zidane will resume being an option for Juventus after waiting for Les Bleus’ job to open up in recent years. The Bianconeri already pursued the legend in the past.
According to L’Equipe, he could be attracted by the new course of the Old Lady. He might be keener on returning to Turin than going to the Premier League or PSG. He reportedly doesn’t like the way the French club is run.
As per TuttoSport, Zidane is held in high regard by Juventus and would be among the top candidates if they parted ways with Massimiliano Allegri. But the current boss is firmly at the wheel thanks to a six-game winning streak. In addition, he has two more years on his sizeable contract.
Missing out on the Champions League qualification would most likely lead to his firing, but the Bianconeri staged a comeback in the final rounds of 2022, reaching the 3rd position. Antonio Conte would be in the running as well in case of a coaching change, La Gazzetta dello Sport informs. Moreover, the former Real Madrid manager is also an option for a front-office role if he stays unemployed.
Our Take on Zidane and Juventus
Allegri’s grasp on the bench got tighter thanks to the recent results and the inquiries. He lost a big ally in Andrea Agnelli, but things would have to go downhill for him to be sacked. At that point, the opening would probably be more palatable for Conte than for Zidane, who will probably pick a team that can compete in Champions League. And he might no longer be available in June.
