Former Real Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane ‘agrees’ sensational return to football management under ONE condition… despite European giants only appointing new head coach YESTERDAY

Former Real Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane has reportedly agreed on a sensational return to management, but under one condition.

The former France star has one of the most impressive trophy cabinets both as a player and as a manager.

He led Real Madrid three consecutive Champions League trophies as their boss and lifted the UEFA Super Cup and FIFA Club World Cup twice, as well as a La Liga title and Supercopa.

However, he has never managed outside of Spain and returned for a second spell at the club during his last stint in management.

It has now been reported that the Frenchman has decided on a new club, with Get Football News France  stating that he has reached an agreement with another one of his former clubs.

The report states that Zidane has agreed to become the manager of Olympique de Marseille.

However, there is one condition that must be met if he is to take the reigns in France.

It is believed that his agreement is not with the club itself, but appears to be with Saudi Arabia.

He has reportedly agreed to become the new manager of Marseille in the event that the club’s sale to the Gulf State goes through.

However, the dream may have to wait as Frank McCourt, Marseille’s current owner, bought the club just seven years ago, and he has reiterated in recent motnhs that his side is not for sale.

The report continues to state that Saudi Arabia have their eyes firmly set on the French side and are dreaming of ‘making the club the Newcastle of France’.

Furthermore, it is believed that Zidane has asked for a £260million transfer budget to accept a return to Marseille, and Saudi Arabia have granted this.

Zidane is a legend in Marseille, dating back to his days as a player at the club

Gennaro Gattuso was recently appointed as the new boss at the club but there are already links to a return to management for Zidane

He also wishes to be in charge of recruitment if he is to take the role, which has also been approved.

Marseille’s owner McCourt must still be convinced to sell if Zidane is to return to his former side, but a move could well happen.

The news comes as a shock following the appointment of Gennaro Gattuso as the new OM head coach just yesterday.

The 45-year-old Italian replaced  Marcelino, who stood down last week just a handful of games into his stewardship amid tensions between management and supporters.

It remains to be seen as to how long Gattuso will be given at the helm, with pressure on him and the owners already following the news about a potential return of Zidane.
