Zinedine Zidane's potential destinations - ranked

Regarded as one of the most successful coaches in the world, Zinedine Zidane could make a shock return to management, almost three years after he left Real Madrid.

It seemed as if he was set to lead the French national team, but Didier Deschamps now looks to be in that position for at least another two years as he plans to lead Les Bleus at the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

So, club management could be on the horizon for Zidane, who won three Champions Leagues, two La Liga titles and six other trophies while in power at Madrid.

Is the Manchester United job attractive for any manager at the minute? Absolutely not, but Zidane has been linked with a move to Old Trafford if they are to let go of Erik ten Hag this summer.

It's clear that United are working hard behind the scenes to redevelop the coaching and recruitment areas of their business, with INEOS keen to restructure operations.

But a job like this for Zidane would be beyond a baptism of fire to Premier League life. Serious development is needed at United if they are to return to the glorious club they once were, and it's hard to imagine that the former Madrid boss would be keen on this project.
