Zinedine Zidane Emerges as Top Contender for PSG Coaching Job After Pochettino's Exit

Following the announced departure of Mauricio Pochettino from PSG, the former footballer and coach of Real Madrid has been contacted to replace the Argentine technician at the head of the Parisian team. Zinedine Zidane seems very excited by the proposal and could become the coach of Achraf Hakimi.

The two men have known each other for many years. Achraf Hakimi should not have any difficulties with Zidane’s style of play if he were to replace Pochettino at PSG.

As a player trained by Real Madrid, which he joined at the age of 7, Hakimi was often called upon by Zidane during training sessions, before his abilities as a great player led him to join the first team.

If Mauricio Pochettino leaves, the Atlas Lion will be in good hands and is unlikely to have the worries that Hakim Ziyech had after Frank Lampard’s departure. In any case, for the moment, the Argentine coach has not informed the management of his wish to leave PSG, even though he has received an attractive offer from Manchester United and could be tempted.
