Former France coach Raymond Domenech has urged Zinedine Zidane to accept the chance of coach Manchester United with both hands if the opportunity is given him. Domenech made this known in an interview with L’Equipe TV, where he said that the former Real Madrid head coach has the capability to turn the Premier League top side around for good.
Recall that on Tuesday, Cristiano Ronaldo has reportedly approached the club chiefs and recommended the former France player to replace manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer with Zinedine Zidane. Pressure has mounted on Solskjaer following Manchester United’s 4-2 defeat at the hands of Leicester City over the weekend.
Although reports have indicated that Zidane has no interest in a move to the English Premier League, former France coach Domenech is urging the former Real Madrid player and manager to have a rethink. He said: “What job is he made for when he’s been a multiple Champions League with Real Madrid? What’s left? [Manchester] City, United, Juventus, Paris Saint-Germain, Bayern Munich? There’s five or six clubs. After that, if he takes another club, they’re a step down for him, for someone of his level.“There comes a point when you can’t let that possibility slip. He’s also got, with [Cristiano] Ronaldo, a direct relay, a translator from Spanish to English.
“He’ll also get away from people who say he only achieved what he did because it was Real Madrid because he knew the players and he’ll prove he’s really a top manager. That’s why I tell him: go for it. Or stay in your comfort, but I don’t think that’s his desire.”
