Zidane has been out of work since leaving Real Madrid in the summer of 2021 and was linked to the Manchester United hot seat two seasons ago. 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.
The legendary former midfielder has frequently spoken of his desire to return to management after two successful stints at the helm of Real Madrid. He won three Champions League titles across two stints at the club alongside two La Liga titles.
French president Emmanuel Macron has previously spoken of his ambition to help persuade Zidane to return to football in Ligue 1, but the former midfielder appears to have little interest in moving to Paris Saint-Germain – arch rivals of his home city of Marseille.
