Zidane Makes Big Mbappe Admission

Zidane Makes Big Mbappe Admission

Zinedine Zidane has made a massive admission about potentially joining up with Kylian Mbappe one day.

Having already coached some of the greatest footballers the game has seen, Zinedine Zidane has now made a big admission about potentially working with Kylian Mbappe.

Zidane is part of a rare group within football who have reached remarkable heights in both his playing and managerial career.

The 1998 Ballon d'Or winner is also the only man to have led a team to three consecutive UEFA Champions League triumphs, having done so with Real Madrid between 2016 and 2018.

While one would have presumed the 51-year-old would be itching to get back on to the sidelines following his second spell in charge of Los Blancos, which ended in June 2021, the Frenchman's future is still up in the air.

Mbappe's future also remains in question after he announced that he would not be triggering the option he has for an extra year at the Parc des Princes.

Paris Saint-Germain now face the dilemma of deciding if they will keep the 24-year-old for another season and risk losing him for free once the 2023/24 campaign draws to a close, or if they will sell the 2018 FIFA World Cup winner this off-season.

Should the latter transpire, the forward's most likely destination would be the Santiago Bernabeu as the LaLiga giants have courted him for years now.

With there being rumours that Zidane could make a second return to the Spanish capital once Carlo Ancelotti's contract at the club runs out in June 2024, he has now spoken on the possibility of managing Mbappe one day.

"When you're a manager and there is a player like him, of course, you'd want to manage him," the ex-playmaker told L'Equipe.

"Lots of things can happen. It could happen one day. He is a player that wears the France shirt well.

"In any case, I admire what he does. It's beautiful, it's strong."
