Zidane "reached an agreement" to lead Bayern Munich
Exclusive source from Mundo Deportivo said, Zinedine Zidane is very close to an agreement to coach Bayern Munich from the 2024/2025 season.
The Catalan-based newspaper revealed that negotiations between Bayern Munich and coach Zidane are going well and basic terms have been agreed by both parties.
The former French tactician has been unemployed since leaving Real Madrid in 2021. There have been many rumors over the past time that Zidane will return to the coaching bench. He and Nagelsmann are the two strong candidates that Bayern Munich leaders are targeting to replace Thomas Tuchel. However, in the latest move, Nagelsmann has refused to return to the Allianz Arena and will continue to be the captain of the German team until 2026.
The above decision prompted Bayern bosses to quickly close the deal with Zidane, despite the French coach's strict requirements regarding personnel./.
