Zidane reacts to Chelsea job after Graham Potter sacking
According to Emmanuel Petit, Chelsea have begun the search for the next permanent manager after deciding to sack Graham Potter on Sunday but Zinedine Zidane won’t be interested in the Chelsea job.
However, Zidane has been linked with the vacant role at Chelsea having been out of work since leaving Real Madrid in 2021 but Petit believes his former France teammate will reject the idea of moving to Chelsea as he cannot speak fluent English.
“Zidane, he won’t come, definitely,” Petit told Stadium Astro.
“You know why? Because he’s not speaking English.
“I’ve known Zidane for ages and the way he manages players, he’s very close to his players, he always talks to his players.
“He wants the communication to be a priority for him, it’s very important for him.
“He doesn’t want someone to translate everything he has to say, publicly. Simple.”
