Amid growing uncertainty surrounding Erik ten Hag’s position as the manager of Manchester United following a disappointing 4-0 loss to Crystal Palace, former player Louis Saha has publicly advocated for the appointment of Zinedine Zidane.
Saha, a respected figure within the football community, believes that Zidane’s exceptional personality and charm uniquely qualify him for the role, overshadowing other rumored candidates like Thomas Tuchel, Gareth Southgate, Roberto De Zerbi, and Graham Potter.
Speaking to OLBG, Saha highlighted Zidane’s innate ability to motivate and uplift players, envisioning a remarkable transformation in the team’s performance and morale under his leadership.
Expressing his sentiments, Saha remarked, “Zinedine Zidane possesses the charisma and demeanor required to lead Manchester United to success.”
He continued, “Having Zidane as the manager at Manchester United is a personal aspiration for me, given his proven track record and the profound impact he could instigate. I believe his return to football is imminent, and the opportunity to manage United would be too enticing to resist.”
Saha added, “Considering the influence he could have on the players, Zidane’s presence would undoubtedly serve as a source of inspiration and motivation, pushing them to strive for excellence beyond their current limits.”
