Zidane has already reacts to Premier League move following Chelsea links
Zinedine Zidane was one of the candidates Chelsea reportedly considered for the position of new head coach, according to the initial reports following Thomas Tuchel’s dismissal.
However, The three-time Champions League champion who is currently the Real Madrid manager has already stated that working in the Premier League is not something he desires, therefore it has appeared unlikely from the beginning.
“Certain conditions make things more difficult,” Zidane told L’Equipe earlier this year.
“When I’m asked: ‘Do you want to go to Manchester?’ I understand English, but I don’t totally master it.
“I know there are coaches who go to clubs without speaking the language, but me, I work differently.”
Indeed, he has reportedly rejected Man United‘s advances when they were looking for a new manager, and he’s probably going to do the same if Chelsea come calling.
The Blues have already focused on other targets, with Graham Potter being their priority.
