PSG seemed to have everything in line to hire Zinedine Zidane...but the main thing to accomplish the transfer did not take place, as the French coach will not be stepping out of his hiatus to take over as Les Parisiens' head coach.
According to RMC Sport, the former midfielder will snub all offers coming from PSG due to his desire to coach the French National Team instead. In order to do so, Zidane will wait until the end of the 2022 FIFA World Cup in December, with the open possibility of France winning the world title once again and seeing Didier Deschamps' contract with Les Bleus being extended.
The report by RMC Sport states that Zidane is willing to return to club football after he is given the chance to coach the National Team, while also leaving a window open for his possible arrival to PSG in the near future, but never during this summer.
Added to that, the French media outlet suggests that Nice's coach, Christoph Galtier, is now the main candidate to take over as PSG's coach following Mauricio Pochettino's sacking from the club last week. If negotiations between Les Parisiens and Nice go as planned, the Ligue 1 winners will have to pay their red and black rivals around $10M for their coach's services.
