Many coaches, with or without a club, could animate the next transfer market.

Zinedine Zidane

He had to revise his plans. Interested in the post of coach of the France team, Zinédine Zidane (50) did not succeed Didier Deschamps after the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, which was extended until July 2026. to wait for the place to become free, “ZZ” would like to return to service, he who has been away from the benches for almost two years. And according to the information recently revealed by RMC Sport the former Real Madrid coach – who would always make the Emir of Qatar dream – would give priority to Juventus Turin, a club he knows well since he has already played there, as a player, between 1996 and 2001. Wishing to engage in “a long term project“, the hero of the 1998 World Cup final would even be ready to join the “Old Lady” if the latter, still under a penalty in Serie A, does not play in the European Cup next season. Only problem: Massimiliano Allegri is under contract with the Bianconeri until June 2025 and his dismissal could be very expensive.

Mauricio Pochettino

We should soon see him back on a bench. Away from the edge of the lawns for a little less than a year and his dismissal from Paris SG, Mauricio Pochettino (51) would be on the way to joining Chelsea and therefore succeeding – at the end of the current financial year – to interim Frank Lampard, according to information from the English press. The formalization of his arrival would be imminent, even if, as certain sources revealed, “Poche” would delay in order to see if the place of Real Madrid coach – which he has been coveting for several years – does not become available at the end of the season. If he did come to commit to the Blues, the Argentinian would have the heavy task of raising a drifting team. That’s good, he knows how to do it, he who had allowed Tottenham to regain the heights – well almost – with a second place in the Premier League standings in 2017 and a Champions League final in 2019.

Antonio Conte

He should be among the most coveted coaches. Tottenham’s party of a ‘agreementAt the end of March, Antonio Conte (53) could find a bench in the coming weeks. If some big clubs looking for a new coach – we think in particular of Paris SG – could be interested in his profile, the ex-technician of Juventus Turin would be especially motivated by the idea of ​​​​returning to Italy. At least that’s what he announced last February at a press conference:I try to live in the present, a lot of things have happened. But you know that as an Italian and a former national team coach, Italy is in my heart and it won’t be a problem to come back one day“, he had declared. In Serie A, the Old Lady and AS Roma – in the event of the departure of José Mourinho – appear as possible destinations for Antonio Conte.

Julian Nagelsman

Thanked by FC Bayern Munich to everyone’s surprise last March, Julian Nagelsmann (35) should quickly bounce back. For several weeks, the young German coach has been insistently quoted on the side of Tottenham, who recently separated from Antonio Conte and who would be looking for a new technician for next season to succeed the interim Ryan Mason. But to believe The Independant , the former RB Leipzig would have set a condition for Spurs to join them: to have a say in recruitment. Daniel Levy, the president of the London club, will he accede to this request?

Robert De Zerbi

He created the sensation. By allowing Brighton & Hove Albion to join the race for Europe, Roberto De Zerbi (43) has established himself as one of the most sought-after coaches on the Old Continent. Last March, his name was mentioned on the side of Tottenham to replace Antonio Conte. And now, according to the latest rumors, the ex-technician of the US Sassuolo would interest Serie A where several formations would be tempted to repatriate him. We are talking in particular about Inter Milan … Except that since then, Simone Inzaghi, a time announced on the start, is about to bring the Nerazzurri back to the Champions League final; it is therefore difficult to see the Milanese team parting with it so easily.

Jose Mourinho

The eternal rumor José Mourinho (60 years old). As often (every year?), “The Special One” is announced on the side of Paris Saint-Germain which should, probably, separate from Christophe Galtier. According RMC Sport Louis Campos would have exchanged with his compatriot who currently officiates at AS Roma, and the latter would be motivated by the idea of ​​​​joining the club of the French capital … But the main interested party denied this information: “If PSG contacted me? If they look for me, they didn’t find me because they didn’t talk to me“, he declared in a press conference. Simple bluff or truth? Only time will tell.

Thiago Motta

There is no shortage of suitors. Author of a good season with FC Bologna, Thiago Motta could change air this summer, one year from the end of his contract. The Italian press evokes a possible interest from AS Roma, in the event of the departure of José Mourinho. But it is especially in Ligue 1 that the former midfielder of Inter Milan and Paris SG arouses the most envy. The Team indicates that the Italian technician would be in the small papers of the Red and Blue – to replace Christophe Galtier -, however, his name would not be unanimous. OGC Nice, which may not keep Didier Digard, would also be in the running, especially since the arrival of Jean-Claude Blanc, the former Parisian manager.
