Juventus To Pay £7m For Zinedine Zidane To Become Their Manager

Juventus are keen to make former player Zinedine Zidane their manager at the end of the season and the ‘Old Lady’ are willing to offer Zizou a salary of £7m, according to the MailOnline

According to the report, Juventus president Andrea Agnelli has maintained a close relationship with Zidane.

The Mail are reporting that Zidane is likely to leave Real Madrid at the end of the season and that Juventus wouldn’t have to pay a fee to release the Frenchman from his contract that expires in 2022.

A salary of £7m may seem below-par for a manager of Zidane’s calibre, however, this is reportedly the maximum Juventus are allowed to offer according to their club policy. This salary would be for three years.

The Mail add that Juventus see the Frenchman as the ideal candidate to lead the Turin outfit back to Champions League glory.

Certainly, the 47-year-old be a fine appointment for the Serie A giants if they decide to move on from Maurizio Sarri.
