Paris Saint-Germain desisted in his attempt for converting to Zinedine Zidane in the replacement of Mauritius Pochettino and, very probably, in the better trainer paid of the world. Further of the past of 'Zizou' in the Olympique of Marseilles, the decision of the ex technician of the Real Madrid has a clear explanation: the trainer only thinks in heading to the French selection after the World-wide of Catar.

In an interview with 'L'Instrument', Zidane cleared that "it has not finished with 'Them Bleus'", as it knows him to the combined Frenchman. To a year of his exit of Chamartín, the marsellés considers that this is the precise moment to return to a selection that will remain without trainer in December when Didier Deschamps finalise his agreement. Zinedine was the hero of the first Glass of the World won by France in 1998 and wants to erase the bitter image of his last party like professional player, precisely with the T-shirt gala.

The last time that the '10' dressed the T-shirt of his country was in the final of the World-wide of Germany 2006, where Italy would finish imposing in penaltis after the tie in the statutory time (1-1, 5-3 p.). The expulsion of 'Zizou' in the minute 110 changed the course of that final and the marsellés wants to return to give back the glory to a combined Frenchman that will look for to repeat the title obtained in 2018 in Russia, with Deschamps in the bench.

The PSG denies the rumours by Zidane

"Of Zidane want to say something important: it is a person that liked me a lot like player and likes me like trainer; it loves me, but never we have spoken with him, direct or indirectly; I respect him a lot and I appreciate him a lot. They have gone out a lot of things in the press, but have not spoken with him never", said Nasser To the-Khelaïfi in an interview with 'MARK', descartando any possibility to see to the ex technical 'merengue' in the bench of the PSG.

Zidane arrives to his 50 years with a professional list of winners envidiable. Although it left by the rear door of the Madrid in his second stage, his three Champions League in row (2016, 2017, 2018) and 10 titles in the 'White House' turn him into one of the trainers with more offers of the European market, but the marsellés has it clear: the selection of France or at all. In January, 'Them Blues' surely will have him in the bench.
