Zidane Won’t Join Fenerbahce, Set to Coach a Major Team Instead

Since leaving Real Madrid, Zinedine Zidane has not returned to coaching. He has a dream team in mind, but the club has not shown interest yet. This may change soon.

Details: According to Mundo Deportivo, Zidane hopes to coach the French national team, with a potential appointment in the coming months. Current manager Didier Deschamps is expected to resign after the 2026 World Cup, making Zidane a top choice to take over.

This is why the 1998 World Cup winner declined offers from Fenerbahce and other clubs. He is focusing on the national team role, waiting for an opportunity that may be approaching.

Zidane’s contract would begin on a specific date but would not have a defined end date, allowing him to continue as long as he desires.

Reminder: Italian coach Luciano Spalletti was also considered for the Fenerbahce position but turned it down as well.
