French coach Thierry Henry believes that Zinedine Zidane is waiting to be the manager of the French national team, and not his former club Bianconeri.
What did Henry say about Zinedine Zidane?
The Bianconeri on Tuesday night escaped from the Champions League group stages for the first time in nine years, taking the pressure off head coach Massimiliano Allegri. Allegri is underperforming massively, with the old lady also sitting eighth in Serie A, which has led some people to call on Zidane to replace him. Thierry disagrees with the idea and suggested that his former France teammate is holding on to the job.
Speaking after the elimination of the Bianconeri from the Champions League, the French coach said that Zinedine Zidane won the Champions League, he proved that he could move to a club like Juve. According to Thierry Henry, Zidane has proven he can win at a big club. Henry is not going there if Zinedine could win at Juventus. Thierry thinks he’s waiting for the French team. So according to Thierry, he won’t go there.
Henry doesn’t think Zidane will go there. The Frenchman thinks he is waiting for one and only one. Team. He has won three Champions Leagues with Real Madrid. “Why are you going to bother with other clubs when you can have a national team? I wouldn’t,” he says. He is associated with many clubs and this has never happened. Henry doesn’t think Zidane would want to do this, but that’s what he says. Maybe he wants to do it. But Thierry sees how Zinedine Zidane is waiting for the national team and it would make total sense.
