Zinedine Zidane has made headlines again. This time, not for his time at Real Madrid, but for his recent statements at an exclusive Adidas event. There, he presented boots featuring the image of his iconic volley, a moment that defined his legend at the white club.
At the event, Zidane was clear about his current situation. He explained that, although he has received many offers to coach clubs, he isn't in a hurry to return to the sidelines. "There's a coach in charge, there's a team, and everything must be respected", he said firmly, making it clear that he doesn't want to interfere or rush his return.
Zidane's professional pause and his respectful attitude
The Frenchman acknowledged that he has put his career on hold to take some distance and reflect. However, despite that, he hasn't disconnected from soccer. "I fully feel like a coach", he assured, showing that his passion remains intact.
Zidane emphasized the importance of respect within the world of soccer. He respects the work of the coaches currently in charge and doesn't want to create controversy. That's why he prefers to wait for the right moment to return.
Zidane's impact on Madrid and world soccer
Real Madrid remains his home, and his legacy as a player and coach is indisputable. White fans fondly remember his titles and his way of understanding the game. However, his professional future is taking a different path that could change the course of many expectations.
The pause Zidane keeps has created uncertainty about where we'll see him coach again. His name is always mentioned by many major clubs, but he has a different idea in mind.
Zidane confirms which team he dreams of coaching
Finally, Zidane cleared up doubts with a confession that surprised many. His real goal isn't a club, but the French national team, "Les Bleus." "It's a dream, I'm looking forward to it", he admitted with emotion.
The former Madridist wants to succeed Didier Deschamps after the 2026 World Cup, which will be held in the United States, Mexico, and Canada. France is one of the main favorites to win the tournament, and Zidane is ready to take charge and continue making history.
This decision is a blow for Real Madrid and for all those who were hoping for his return to the club. But it also opens a new chapter for Zidane, who is preparing for a major challenge in international soccer.
