Zidane: The French Legend Turning Down Millions for Les Bleus
Zidane Turns Down Offers from Chelsea, Manchester United, Awaiting France Manager Role - Desailly's Confirmation
Get ready for a dose of football nostalgia! Marcel Desailly, former France international, spills the beans on Zinedine Zidane - the man who shunned mega-bucks offers from Manchester United and Chelsea.
You heard it right! Speaking to Oddspedia, Desailly revealed that Zidane was offered blank cheque deals by both English giants, but he didn't bite. This little snippet suggests that the legendary midfielder isn't about the cash; it's all about the love for Les Bleus.
Here's what Desailly had to say, "If you think Zidane will get tempted by Saudi Arabia, think again! He had blank cheque offers from Chelsea and Manchester United, but refused them. The man ain't in it for the buck."
So, where does Zidane's heart truly lie? Well, according to Desailly, it's all about leading the French team. He's been keeping a keen eye on the French national team and is raring to go as Didier Deschamps ushers in a new era.
Zidane, the real-life Steven Gerrard in Madrid, has long been linked with the France job. Rumors are circulating that, with Deschamps potentially nearing the end of his tenure after a decade in charge, Zidane could be the next in line to lead the French team to glory.
Desailly believes that Zidane is the man to guide the new French talent to the pinnacle of the game. "Zidane's the man! With him at the helm, I reckon we can dominate the world game."
So there you have it! The man who reigned over the Spanish La Liga is ready to conquer the world stage. Let's hope he signs on the dotted line soon, shall we?
