See one day the new star of French football Kylian Mbappé be coached by Zinedine Zidane was a fantasy a few months ago, but since the 23-year-old footballer announced that he was staying in Paris, it no longer seems so unlikely. It is in any case an association that makes all lovers of Paris Saint-Germain salivate as well as defenders of the French Ligue 1 championship, but also up to the highest level of the State. After a long break following his last experience at Real Madrid, the 49-year-old coach is ardently desired by the capital club and the President of the Republic was questioned about this hypothesis during an interview with RMC.
“I haven’t spoken to Zinedine Zidane, but I have huge admiration for him, the player, the coach. We really want to have, in the French championship, an athlete and coach of this talent who has been able to bring back three major cups that we covet a lot for our clubs”said Emmanuel Macron about the 98 world champion. Football lover and rather supporter of Olympique de Marseille, the husband of Brigitte Macron thinks above all of the common interest and to see a star like Zizou arrive, when we already have Messi and Neymar, would be a real plus for Ligue 1.
I wish for the influence of the French championship and for France that he comes to train a big French club
If he did not speak directly with him, unlike Kylian Mbappé, the French president made a nice appeal to Zinedine Zidane in this interview. “I wish for the influence of the French championship and for France that he comes to train a big French club. That would be wonderful”he insists, before concluding: “It’s my role to say that France is a great nation of sport and football, that there are great audiences who love this sport. It is important for us that the best we have trained, who have sometimes shone internationally, can come back”.
Zidane in Paris, the President of the Republic votes yes and with strong support like this, PSG has a good chance of attracting the idol of the crowds in the capital this summer!
