Why doesn’t Zinedine Zidane want to coach in the Premier League? | Extra Time | ESPN FC

Zidane is a legend and has NOTHING to prove. Good for him for living his life

[@wills.1978]

@Nanendra ThePudi my favorite player of all time, easily :)

[@TheGTA6Times]

Sure he has alot to prove, if he cannot manage an average side to a top 3 in PL then he is shot

[@Dbo_Sports]

Of course he has nothing to prove…. But he took over Mourinho/Ancelotti’s Madrid, with the best players in the world. He built nothing. They built that team, not him. So Zidane running to PSG in the future means that, it wasn’t about spending time with his family. It was about running into a no-lose situation. That is a lack of character and steel. Everyone wants to live in Paris, Madrid etc. So again, he would be doing something that everyone wants to do. It would take a special man to steer United in the right direction… and it is not zidane based upon the fact, that he is more than willing to do what everyone else wants to do. Rather than take a real challenge.

[@relaxinghealingrain9075]

Leonardo, That Real Madrid team was something else. This Manchester United team as lots of young talent, but no where near what Real Madrid team was. At the time Real Madrid got the best champions league goal keeper, best world left back, Ramos, Varane, etc. not to mention they have at the time the best midfield trio, Ronaldo who was in better form, Benzema etc! Also, the other team around Europe was not that strong such as Bayern, City, Liverpool, PSG etc. let him come to England to prove himself!!

My thinking seems very well synched with Burley’s in terms of RB. Walker doesn’t play fancy; he plays solid and his unforced errors are I think consistently less than 3% of the time.

[@desmo998rr]

Tbf, you can make a case for all three. It's another of those pointless hypothetical questions that can never be answered. It completely depends on the manager and the system being played, who else is in the team and who they're playing against. It's quite enjoyable hearing the different opinions but in reality it's meaningless and utterly subjectable.

[@kindface]

Halt the press. Will every sporting outlet please give Timo a standing ovation and plenty of love as VINCENT ODHIAMBO needs to hear his man be appreciated every time he does what he's supposed to do, as in his job. Lets go round all the big leagues and pick the 20 or so players that stood out in each league and have an ovation and a bit of praise for each and every one of these outstanding examples of footballers. ESP could probably get 3 or 4 hours of continuous content simply praising players for doing their job. Would make entertaining tv, don't you agree?. Or would you switch off after Timo's turn was over?. Wake up pal, join reality. They can't make everyone content for them. Some of it you might you like, some you might not.

His only issue when he dribbles the ball away far-ahead of him. He needs to advance his tight dribbling. 2) Trippier > his pinpoint crossing is fatal, reminds me of Roberto Carlos. 3) Trent > His set-piece is like no other. 4) Reece > He is good of positioning at the right place & time, but still not at the level of others. He needs to prefect his defense & tight dribbling speed during offense. 5) Walker > He is good in defense, but in need to take advantage of his world class speed ability during the offense.
