Zidane: PSG? Man Utd? I still want to continue coaching

Former Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane won't rule out a move to PSG.

The Frenchman continues to be linked to PSG with Mauricio Pochettino departing.

He told L'Equipe: "I still want to continue training. And then why not be in a project where I myself am the leader?

"Never say never (to PSG). Especially when you are a coach today. When I was a player I could choose and go to almost all the clubs. As a manager, there are not fifty clubs that I can go to. There are two or three possibilities. If I go back to a club it's to win. I say this in all modesty. That's why I can't go anywhere."

On coaching France, Zidane said: "Of course I want to. I hope to be one day. When? It's not up to me. But I want to close the circle, I'm not done with the French team. It is the most beautiful thing there is, it would be everything to me."

And on working in England, he added, "If I go back to a club it's to win. I say this in all modesty. That's why I can't go anywhere.

"Go to Manchester? I understand English, but I am not completely fluent in it. I know that there are coaches who go to clubs without speaking the language, but I work in a different way. To win, many elements come into play, it is a global context. I know what I need to win."
