EPL: Zidane ‘turned down blank cheques’ from Man Utd, Chelsea
Marcel Desially has said his former France team-mate, Zinedine Zidane, wants the national team job.
According to him, Zidane turned down offers from Manchester United and Chelsea.
Desailly claims the former Real Madrid manager was offered a blank cheque by the two Premier League clubs, but rejected the money.
According to him, Zidane can lead the next generation of French footballers to the top of the world game.
Desailly told Oddspedia: “Will Zinedine Zidane be tempted by Saudi Arabia?
“Well he had a blank cheque on the table from Chelsea and a blank cheque from Manchester United and turned them down – he isn’t in it for the money. He likes to travel and always keeps an eye on the France national team.
He’s ready because Didier Deschamps has started the transition.”
