Breaking News: Zidane is about to reunite with Ronaldo at Juventus.
According to Spanish and Italian media, Zinedine Zidane is on his way back to his former club Juventus. The coach, who recently left Real Madrid, will first take on the role of sporting advisor and will begin the job next October.
As is well known, coach Zidane unexpectedly parted ways with Real Madrid just days after winning the Champions League for the third consecutive time at the end of last season. He then announced he would take a break before returning to football.
But according to the Spanish newspaper Libertad Digital, Zizou will return to the sport sooner than expected. Specifically, he has reached an agreement to rejoin his former club Juventus next season. However, the legendary former midfielder will not take on the role of head coach, but will instead serve as a sports advisor. Furthermore, he will only begin his work in October.
This is perhaps the most suitable role for Zidane. In this position, Zidane still has plenty of time to rest after years of hard work at Real, while also being well-prepared for his return to the head coach position later.
Regardless, it's clear that Zidane's future lies at Juventus. This is a clear plan for Zizou. He had a fantastic experience over the years at Real Madrid and almost won everything. His next step is to return to another former club – Juventus.
It's clear that Zidane was very shrewd to only take on the role of sporting advisor during his return to Juventus. This is very similar to how he conquered Real Madrid in his previous role as a manager.
Zidane started with youth development, then took on the role of sports advisor, followed by assistant coach before taking over the first team. This laid a solid foundation for him to establish the "ZZ empire" at Bernabeu later on.
Of course, Zidane was already a renowned coach, so he didn't need to start from youth development or as an assistant coach at Juventus. However, it's clearly still very necessary for Zidane to be a sports advisor. In that role, he would have time to understand the club's operations and problems, which would help him succeed when he transitions to head coach if that happens.
Zidane's return to Turin is putting immense pressure on coach Massimiliano Allegri. Clearly, the 50-year-old strategist understands that Zizou's return to Juve is not simply for a sporting advisor role. Allegri will be immediately replaced by Zizou if Juventus fails to achieve its goals next season, especially winning the Champions League.
Things are just beginning and can change depending on the circumstances, but there's no denying that Zidane's move into sports consulting is aimed at building the foundation for a future empire at Juventus!
Zidane will bring his son to Juve.
Zinedine Zidane will bring his second son, Luca Zidane, to Juventus. The 20-year-old goalkeeper was the starting goalkeeper for Real Castilla and made several appearances for the first team last season. Luca has truly shown himself to be a promising goalkeeper.
