Zidane doesn't want Man Utd job - Agent

Zinedine Zidane's agent has played down any chance that the French great could possibly replace under-fire JosE Mourinho at Manchester United.

Zidane has been identified as the number one choice to step in, with reports circulating that Mourinho was close to being fired by the Old Trafford hierarchy amid talks of internal rifts against the backdrop of a string of poor results.

The Frenchman's representative has, however, dismissed the United rumours, with Alain Migliaccio telling reporters that Zidane has no interest in coaching in England.

"I do not think that he will manage in England," he said. "It is much less his style. I have discussed it with him, it does not really attract him.

"He has chosen to have a year out, he will not dive in again before that is over."

Zidane started his coaching career in the youth set-up at Real Madrid before taking over as first-team coach, winning a hat-trick of Champions League titles, before walking away at the end of the 2017-18 campaign.

Migliaccio, however, hinted that his client would more likely move to Juventus, given his history and close relations with the club.

"There is history there, so it's entirely possible. He could be seduced by the club where his heart already lies, but a magnificent project."
