Rumors of Zidane leading Fenerbahce

Zinedine Zidane's future is heating up as news emerged that the French legend has reached a preliminary agreement with Fenerbahce.

Zidane has not had a new job since leaving Real Madrid 4 years ago.

Zidane left the coaching position in 2021 after parting ways with Real Madrid and has not returned yet. Despite waiting to take over the hot seat of France coach from Didier Deschamps after the 2026 World Cup, Turkish media unanimously affirmed the possibility of "Zizou" leading Fenerbahce,

Zidane is reportedly set to sign for the club that just sacked Jose Mourinho after failing to qualify for the Champions League. The source said the two sides have reached a preliminary agreement and Zidane will travel to Türkiye after finalising the details of his salary and contract.

Previously, Marca revealed that Zidane would only consider returning if he were to coach Real Madrid or the French national team. Zidane has repeatedly emphasized that he will not choose any club, because to win, a coach needs to combine many factors such as a suitable environment, language and a solid foundation.

"As a player, I could choose many clubs. But as a coach, there are only two or three places that really suit me. I can't go anywhere, because to win, I need certain conditions," Zidane told L'Equipe .

Zidane admits he is not really fluent in English, while speaking fluent Saudi Arabia, a significant plus if he lands in Türkiye, because a part of the population uses this language.

If the deal comes true, it will be a huge shock to European football as the three-time Champions League winner with Real Madrid appears in the Super Lig to lead Fenerbahce.
