Zinedine Zidane’s PSG move ‘influenced by Real Madrid Champions League tie’

Zinedine Zidane has been tipped to take over as new Paris Saint-Germain coach if the French giants are knocked out of the Champions League by Real Madrid in the coming weeks.

However, it has also been claimed that Zidane might have been in charge at PSG already had it not been for the draw that pitted them against his former club.

Having led Real to three Champions League titles in the space of two and a half years, as well as La Liga triumphs in each of his two spells in the Bernabeu hot seat, Zidane is arguably the most coveted coach in world football currently without a job.

The Frenchman was linked with Manchester United in November when Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was sacked, but had little interest in taking over at Old Trafford.

Current PSG boss Mauricio Pochettino is under pressure to deliver at Parc des Princes. He couldn’t steer the club to the Ligue 1 title last season, finishing behind Lille. And while domestic glory looks a certainty this year, PSG’s ultimate goal is to win the Champions League.
