The legendary Zinedine Zidane turned down Olympique de Marseille, who eventually brought in Gennaro Gattuso as coach.
Zidane probably expects something better because he could return to Real Madrid and succeed Carlo Ancelotti. But Xabi Alonso has the best chance to replace Ancelotti.
Zinedine and Perez still have a great relationship even though it was stormy when he left.
Zidane was born in Marseille, but he never played for Olympique, so even now he didn’t believe in his plan and project, and that’s why he didn’t want to take on the role of coach.
He started his career in Cannes, then played for Bordeaux and later for Juventus and Real Madrid.
Now Newcastle is showing interest in the French expert, but it is not yet known whether he will accept it.
