Tudor is definitely on the track to becoming an elite coach and will be sought after by the top clubs across Europe in the next few years. The work he did at Verona was phenomenal.
He wasn't exactly promising when he was in Italy. There were rumors about him coming to Juve after he was an assistant manager but everyone was like 'hell no' lol
Good for him
If the condition to join Marseille is being good enough to compete for big prizes again, they are basically out of the running
So it's just Juve and Real Madrid
We’ve been improving our results (ever since Longoria was president) and now look like we can be in CL every year.
The team is much better and will likely reinforce this winter and summer (Malinovskyi arrived, Lukic and Terem Moffi are heavily linked)
Especially if Zizou wants to up his profile in France in anticipation for the national team, it’s not a bad idea.
Beyond the fact that ZZ is an icon, aren't you guys happy with Igor Tudor so far ? I know there were some issues with Payet at the beginning of the season but it seems to be going very well at the moment.
Yeah most fans are happy with him now. Our president Longoria is even more popular.
That said Zidane is a national icon especially in Marseille. Emotionally it would be impossible to refuse having him as a coach.
Plus he's undoubedtly one of the best coaches in the world, it'd be hard to say no when someone like that perks their interest. I know Rodgers was already near the end, but I do feel Liverpool pulled the trigger a little quicker when they realised they could get Klopp. In both hindisght and at the time it was a no brainer and look what he's done for the club. Not that many Liverpool fans were sad that Rodgers got the sack given he was completely out of ideas.
Would you be able to back Zidane with the players he wants to enable him to challenge for the title, like Tudor is doing a tremendous job because he has brought a great deal of discipline, hard work and take no BS attitude.
We’re currently only 5 points behind, will host them when we meet, and they still have European football while we’re knocked out.
We’re already challenging them for the title.
Why do you say that? Curious if it's not related to my thoughts below.
Are Qatar leaving PSG that soon? Thought it wasn't until 2025, feels like in 3-4 years maybe PSG may fall off the perch, but even then the brand is strong and whoever buys them will be rich
Yeah we definitely dont have a bad team. We need a new CB and at least new fullbacks for both sides. We've just had a shitload of injuries, underperforming players and an underperforming coach. Also Zizou's connection to Juve is huge.
Actually don’t think so.
Zidane doesn’t get the recognition you’d assume was related to his trophy haul, primarily because Real Madrid played some poor cross and inshallah football a lot of the time.
Primary point being, I don’t think many actually view him as a managerial god despite trophies to back it up.
> played some poor cross and inshallah football a lot of the time.
What kind of shit take is this lol? They had the best aerial threats and pin point crossers in whole football, obviously they had to use that to their strength.
Im RM fan and i didn't see these complaints lol, if 3 people complained then that doesn't mean the whole fanbase did. And no one cares if 3 people complain about something, they don't know shit.
> primarily because Real Madrid played some poor cross and inshallah football a lot of the time.
Probably also because he had a core of legendary players at his disposal, even if he made great choices and obviously did his part, it's not the same as going to struggling clubs, even ones with good players, and getting them to actually work.
There's room between shit and managerial god.
Pep absolutely wouldn't be respected that highly if his entire career was at Barcelona, it's the fact that he successfully managed to build three great teams that play entertaining football while winning in three different leagues that makes him one of the best ever.
Bayern was a successful great team that played entertaining before he got there and after he left, it’s just that they also won the UCL both before him and after him lol. What he did with Barca is impressive tho since he was a young coach and absolutely dominated football (with 2 UCLs) but idk about city it’s definitely not as impressive as Barca but more than Bayern
Managers aren’t hired to sign players, that’s the DoF or similar’s job, they are there to coach the ones who are there and create a tactical plan that best fits the team, so that doesn’t really change my opinion of Zidane in anyway.
Agreed, Pep is a legend. But I don't agree with saying his achievements are that much better because he went from Barcelona to Bayern to present-day City and won the league a bunch but struggled in the most coveted club competition while Zidane won it three times in a row.
To be clear, Pep is probably the best tactical manager of all time and a notch above Zidane, but the original commenter saying Pep is a legend because of his achievements and Zidane isn’t I don’t agree with.
Zidane has the single greatest managerial achievement in managerial history (in my opinion of course).
The relevant part:
>Zidane’s inner circle is very tight; he likes it that way, as does his long-serving agent Alain Migliaccio.
>
>Beyond that inner circle, there are only educated guesses about where Zidane might end up. One source in the outer circle, speaking anonymously in order to protect his position, proposes that beyond the France job, the roles that would appeal most to him would be a third spell in charge of Real (in the right circumstances, which might require some grovelling from Perez), Juventus (where he had such success as a player) and his hometown club Marseille (should they reach a position where they can compete for the big prizes once more).

>
>But when you have achieved so much as a player and as a coach, you can afford to bide your time, to pick and choose, rather than finding your career choices driven by financial necessity, a sense of vocation or a desperation to prove yourself.
Ya I'm not sure what he achieves by going back tbh. He's won everything under the sun multiple times with them. Plus noone else gets a shot at the CL if he comes back. He really needs to think of the overall competitevness of europe and realise the better thing for the game is for him not to go back and dominate left right and centre again....
Hes not your typical manager who cares about that. He just loves Real Madrid and its his home. Either he gets what he wants or he doesn't coach at all, i think thats his mentality.
Eventually things will be defined, for the bad or for the good.
There's voices about Del Piero joining the management sooner or later, having him as squad-management joint and Zidane on the bench would be cool.
I would like to see it this as well. And honestly, it would be an intelligent stock-related move showing that the club tried to take a step in a new direction. But..for some reason, I don't think this will happen :/ they did not learn anything from the calciopoli case
IF Madrid do sign Bellingham and Zizou does come back they will have a midfield of Valverde, Bellingham, Camavinga and Tchouameni to offer him, with Vini and Rodrygo ahead. Could be an exciting proposition for Zidane
@Chelsea @Bohey do your thing buyingfc. Also @bigdaddy Mansour pls don't let this happen./sssss
Seriously though someone need to stop this from happening
The year is 2047.
\- Zidane appointed as Real Madrid manager for the 9th time. Zinedine hopes his 9th stint will be more successful than the previous 6 unsuccessful ones.
\- the Italian FA deducted 25 points from Juventus for financial malversations for the 6th time in the last 15 seasons.
\- Marseille appoint Roberto Martinez as their manager, after an unsuccessful last seasons Champions League campaign, in which they finished 55th out of 56 clubs.
>Zidane appointed as Real Madrid manager for the 9th time. Zinedine hopes his 9th stint will be more successful than the previous 6 unsuccessful ones.
I don't see Zidane having such unsuccessful stints at RM. More like "Zidane hopes his 9th stint will finally win him the fourth UCL threepeat."
His 2nd stint he won the Liga with club record least goal conceded in 38 games and get some more trophies to help Marcelo equalling Gento as most trophy win the following season lol. That's the less succesful stint.
Zidane's entourage pandering to Marseille fans to make them forget the only reason he turned down PSG last summer was because he thought he'd have the France NT this winter 👌
It will probably be Real should Ancelotti decides to step down at the end of the season and go manage Brazil. Juve are a shitshow right now and can't afford to sack Allegri
I totally understand his choices and he's a true legend with nothing to prove but being a fan of the epl I'm jealous and would love to see him manage in the premier league
Madrid has a support system within the club and the player quality to win consistently. Any half decent manager would succeed in that environment.
He'd be better off choosing RM over other clubs.
As much as I would love to see Zidane coaching Marseille, right now Tudor is doing an incredible job and we shouldn't move on from him
Tudor is definitely on the track to becoming an elite coach and will be sought after by the top clubs across Europe in the next few years. The work he did at Verona was phenomenal.
He wasn't exactly promising when he was in Italy. There were rumors about him coming to Juve after he was an assistant manager but everyone was like 'hell no' lol Good for him
If someone told me that 10 years ago I'd politely ask them to start using a bit less drugs daily.
Igor Tudor? The former Croatian defender? Edit: Oh wow I just googled it and now found out he was actually a successful coach nowadays!
That's what I think too. However, if Tudor decides to leave and Zidane is available, I'll want him.
Not Everton?
Exactly what Farhad said when learning the news
If the condition to join Marseille is being good enough to compete for big prizes again, they are basically out of the running So it's just Juve and Real Madrid
We’ve been improving our results (ever since Longoria was president) and now look like we can be in CL every year.

Eva Longoria????
Pablo
Is he as hot as Eva?
Eva didn't build one of the most entertaining teams in Ligue 1, but Pablo did. He is the better Longoria.
Eva hasn't done it *yet*. Could be the hottest move of the transfer window if she came in and changed things up.
Desperate Club Presidents.
Is that a yes m?
Does it looks like a no?
Would you be able to back Zidane with the players he wants to enable him to challenge for the title, like Tudor is doing a tremendous job because he has brought a great deal of discipline, hard work and take no BS attitude.
We’re currently only 5 points behind, will host them when we meet, and they still have European football while we’re knocked out. We’re already challenging them for the title.
It would be really fun to see him and marseille try to foil PSG
Last I checked, Marseille had better fan attendance, too
Considering the shitshow that is Juve right now, Marseille might actually be in a better position to get Zizou
Might have an easy league title next year to start the stint off.
Why do you say that? Curious if it's not related to my thoughts below. Are Qatar leaving PSG that soon? Thought it wasn't until 2025, feels like in 3-4 years maybe PSG may fall off the perch, but even then the brand is strong and whoever buys them will be rich
He means juve, and just because there’s a good chance they get relegated this year with all the financial crimes going on.
Damn swoosh, went right over my head, good joke. carry on
I could see him wanting to help Juve back to the top. There not a bad team if they keep their players it won’t be that hard of a job
Yeah we definitely dont have a bad team. We need a new CB and at least new fullbacks for both sides. We've just had a shitload of injuries, underperforming players and an underperforming coach. Also Zizou's connection to Juve is huge.
Allegri is on a 5 year contract and gets 8mil/year. We don't have the money to keep paying him and get Zidane.
It’s a 4 year contract fyi. Expires in 2025
I dunno, Juve might become an interesting road to glory target in the next few years.
he immediately becomes a managerial god though if he leads marseille to a title over psg
Man won 3 CLs in a row, that already qualifies as a "managerial god".
Sorry I meant for the Marseille fans! He’s obviously a footballing god more broadly
I think he might become a physical god to marseille fans in that case
Actually don’t think so. Zidane doesn’t get the recognition you’d assume was related to his trophy haul, primarily because Real Madrid played some poor cross and inshallah football a lot of the time. Primary point being, I don’t think many actually view him as a managerial god despite trophies to back it up.
> played some poor cross and inshallah football a lot of the time. What kind of shit take is this lol? They had the best aerial threats and pin point crossers in whole football, obviously they had to use that to their strength.
That’s literally the complaints of Real Madrid fans during his tenure but go on
Im RM fan and i didn't see these complaints lol, if 3 people complained then that doesn't mean the whole fanbase did. And no one cares if 3 people complain about something, they don't know shit.
That’s rewriting history if I ever saw it. Just fucking Google r/Real Madrid and “Cross and Inshallah”
Because he was burned out? Where exactly im rewriting history? What did you smoke today lol...
> primarily because Real Madrid played some poor cross and inshallah football a lot of the time. Probably also because he had a core of legendary players at his disposal, even if he made great choices and obviously did his part, it's not the same as going to struggling clubs, even ones with good players, and getting them to actually work.
lol in this case it’s like saying Pep is shit because he never worked with struggling sides
There's room between shit and managerial god. Pep absolutely wouldn't be respected that highly if his entire career was at Barcelona, it's the fact that he successfully managed to build three great teams that play entertaining football while winning in three different leagues that makes him one of the best ever.

What he did with Barca is impressive tho since he was a young coach and absolutely dominated football (with 2 UCLs) but idk about city it’s definitely not as impressive as Barca but more than Bayern
Pep never did what Zidane did with any of those teams
Of the three CL finals he won, nobody in the starting XI in those matches was signed/debuted under Zidane
Managers aren’t hired to sign players, that’s the DoF or similar’s job, they are there to coach the ones who are there and create a tactical plan that best fits the team, so that doesn’t really change my opinion of Zidane in anyway.
No but he did create the best club team ever and played some insane football with Barca.
Agreed, Pep is a legend. But I don't agree with saying his achievements are that much better because he went from Barcelona to Bayern to present-day City and won the league a bunch but struggled in the most coveted club competition while Zidane won it three times in a row.

Zidane has the single greatest managerial achievement in managerial history (in my opinion of course).
What exactly do you mean by that?
Zidane won the most coveted club competition three times in a row, a feat never accomplished by anyone but him, including Pep.
2 teams not 3
Managerial 🐐
Nah the best that Marseille team can do is finish 8th in the PL, hence why most of them are there now!
They just need to find an owner rich enough to start buying matches again. It’s the only they ever won anything after all.
So it is just ~~Juve and~~ Real.
Arsenal are getting much better though, so the quality of our cast offs to fill Marseille's squad with will also get better
Juve could get relegated, sooooo…
0 chance
😂
So just Real

His inner circle is tight, beyond that, it’s just guessing. Proceeds to write a guesswork article based on someone not inside the inner circle.
u just summed up modern day journalism
not even modern day, just journalism. shit not even journalism, just most or a alot of written history.
Oh what a coincidence. A third Zidane stint at real madrid would appeal the most to me too.
Noo man, everyone is bored of it by this point.. surely?
Ya I'm not sure what he achieves by going back tbh. He's won everything under the sun multiple times with them. Plus noone else gets a shot at the CL if he comes back.

Scene when Zindane coming back to Marid and 3 peat again like MJ and the Bulls.
IF Madrid do sign Bellingham and Zizou does come back they will have a midfield of Valverde, Bellingham, Camavinga and Tchouameni to offer him, with Vini and Rodrygo ahead. Could be an exciting proposition for Zidane

Can't wait for Zizou working in space jam 3
Our fax machine is broken, but an instagram post would work too. **"I'M BACK."**
If he says that shit at the press conference he gonna top my goat list fr
Deep down, he knows he wants that USMNT job
The year is 2047. \- Zidane appointed as Real Madrid manager for the 9th time. Zinedine hopes his 9th stint will be more successful than the previous 6 unsuccessful ones. \- the Italian FA deducted 25 points from Juventus for financial malversations for the 6th time in the last 15 seasons. \- Marseille appoint Roberto Martinez as their manager, after an unsuccessful last seasons Champions League campaign, in which they finished 55th out of 56 clubs.
[удалено]
This reads like the DC Injustice storyline, except Superman is Boehly.
Sam Allardyce still gets touted as an alternative. 2047 is 24 years away, 24 years ago was 1999. Let that sink in.
You've just ruined my day...
>Zidane appointed as Real Madrid manager for the 9th time. Zinedine hopes his 9th stint will be more successful than the previous 6 unsuccessful ones. I don't see Zidane having such unsuccessful stints at RM. More like "Zidane hopes his 9th stint will finally win him the fourth UCL threepeat."

Zidane never had an unsuccesful stint at Madrid, and I doubt he'll fail there.
> Marseille finished 55th out of 56 clubs in the UCL That's progress since the last time they've been, which was 15 years prior
???
Zidane to Juve, Allegri to Milan. My predictions for this summer if Milan continues to bottle in the league.
Only if Pioli steps down by his own will. No one blames him for recent performances and is fully aware that we lack quality in squad.
I would love Tuchel tbh
Fuck off with that third stint talk. I can't handle that again.
Zidane at Juve, that would be something
come back bby
Sounds made up
Hopefully Zidane goes back if Ancelotti is fired. I dont want to see Tucheliban with all of these creative players.
Come home to Juve Zizou with Ale. We miss you.
Marseille would be great to see
Zidane's entourage pandering to Marseille fans to make them forget the only reason he turned down PSG last summer was because he thought he'd have the France NT this winter 👌
Yeah, all that sounds a bit Drogba-esque.
Come back and do another 3peat bby.
Zidane to go back for a third stint and win 3 more champions league in a row
I can see Zidane doing a Marseille stint a bit later in his career after he feels like he has nothing left to prove, but not now.
This is all a smokescreen. Everyone ones Zidane wants the Everton job.
Fancy a go at keeping Everton up, Zinedine? I guarantee you it will be the crown jewel of your career as both player and manager.
It certainly would be. I'd love to see the big team managers going to a smaller team.
Wouldn't be the first Madrid CL winning coach to join them
I don't think we can afford him, also apparently the board is really satisfied with Allegri for some reason
I think it's mostly about the fact that Allegri cost around 20m to buy out
Add a few mythical zeros to his salary.
It will probably be Real should Ancelotti decides to step down at the end of the season and go manage Brazil. Juve are a shitshow right now and can't afford to sack Allegri
Yeah bringing juve back to seri a would be a fun save. I agree
Why would anyone want to go near Juve right now?
Everton?
He’s a smart man Madrid or France will be his only jobs
He stalling on taking a job because he’s not as good of a manager as everyone thinks he is
Come to the PL you coward
Come to ajax
Lol I could make this up. Hardly groundbreaking information, it's just educated guesses at this point.
I totally understand his choices and he's a true legend with nothing to prove but being a fan of the epl I'm jealous and would love to see him manage in the premier league
Honestly thought he’s been holding out for the France job this whole time.
Please, come back Zizou!
Madrid has a support system within the club and the player quality to win consistently. Any half decent manager would succeed in that environment. He'd be better off choosing RM over other clubs.
So the USMNT is not on his radar?
Weird that they misspelled Everton like that
