Zidane in Saudi Arabia? Well, maybe, but not to join Marseille…
Things are buzzing around Zidane. On Thursday, France Bleu reported that Zinedine Zidane had discussions with the leaders of the Saudi consortium interested in buying Marseille. He would have clearly expressed his interest, provided he has full authority.
But that’s not all. According to Talal Al Otaibi, a close associate of the Saudi royal family, a visit by Zidane to Riyadh was scheduled for next week, without specifying the purpose of this trip.
Goal Arabia, on the other hand, announced that it would be… to sign with Al-Hilal, Neymar’s club. He would come to replace Jorge Jesus, whose future is uncertain.
Discussions have taken place between the Saudi team and Zidane’s agent to assess his availability. If this materializes, Zidane could take the helm in Saudi Arabia to coach a team that includes Neymar among its players.
