Zinedine Zidane rejects PSG yet again because of Lionel Messi despite wishing to make a comeback to managing: Reports

Zinedine Zidane and Lionel Messi

After a disappointing season in the champions league, PSG has reportedly offered Zinedine Zidane a €30 million per year contract alongside a mammoth budget of €500 million to work with in the upcoming season. 

The former Real Madrid boss reportedly wanted Lionel Messi out of the team and wanted him replaced by Real Madrid winger Lucas Vasquez. 

This unusual choice by Zidane is absolutely unfeasible by the Paris management. Hence, Zinedine Zidane has opted not to manage PSG without Lucas Vasquez in the team.

Luis Campos, the new PSG sports adviser, was keen to work with Zidane, but the former Real manager was unsure that a transfer to the Parc des Princes was in his best interests, especially considering his legendary past with arch enemies Marseille.

Meanwhile, Nice’s Christophe Galtier is anticipated to take over at PSG, with Mauricio Pochettino on the verge of being sacked of his duties.

Is Zinedine Zidane not interested in managing Lionel Messi?

After a year without a job, Zinedine Zidane has declared that he wants to return to management.

Former Real Madrid manager Zinedine Zidane stepped down last summer and is expected to wait until after the 2022 World Cup to take over the France national squad from Didier Deschamps, whose contract runs out after the tournament. 

There has also been talking that Zinedine Zidane may join Paris Saint-Germain this summer, but insiders have told 90min that the Frenchman is not interested.

He did, however, inform Telefoot that he is ready to work again. “I believe I still have a lot, or at least some, to offer as a coach,” he said. “I want to keep going because I still believe in it; it’s my passion. I can still feel the fire inside of me.”
