Bayern are currently seeking a new manager to take over from Thomas Tuchel at the end of the season. Zidane, a former midfielder, has been approached by several countries including the United States, Brazil, and Algeria, but has chosen to wait for the right opportunity. It has been previously suggested that he is only interested in taking an international position with France.

Ratcliffe and Sir Dave Brailsford have prepared a list of potential replacements for the outgoing manager, with Zidane reportedly showing interest in the project at Old Trafford. However, living in Munich and speaking German are not favorable factors for Zidane, as he is not fluent in English either. He has cited the language barrier as a potential issue if he were to work in the Premier League.

Zidane has expressed his desire to join a club with the intention to win. He emphasized the importance of certain conditions and the global context to achieve success. Additionally, Zidane has mentioned the need to master the language of the country he would potentially manage.
