If information from French news outlet (L’Equipe) is anything to go by, former Real Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane could be Jose Mourinho’s successor at Old Trafford next season.
Zidane stepped down from his position a few months back after guiding Los Blancos to three back-to-back Champions League titles.
There were reports that ‘Zizu’ would take over as coach of the French national team after the World Cup but Les Blues World Cup triumph will potentially see Didier Deschamps remain as head coach.
According to sports news outlet the Mirror, Zidane is keen on coming to the Premier League and in particular, managing Manchester United.
The Red Devils style of play under Mourinho has received some heavy criticism despite the fact that the club won three trophies in the Portuguese’s first season in charge and finished second in the Premier League last season.
