Christophe Dugarry tips Real Madrid legend Zinedine Zidane to take over at Bayern Munich
Zidane's former teammate, Christophe Dugarry thinks that the Frenchman could contemplate taking over at Bayern Munich.
Dugarry thinks Bayern are a club just as historical as Real Madrid, which may be of Zidane's interest. Speaking about the 1998 FIFA World Cup winner, Dugarry said (via Tribal Football):
"If he's learning German? I don't think so. But the stadiums are full, the German league is beautiful. I think every coach dreams of a club like Bayern."
The pundit added:
"There was Pep Guardiola, the best coach in the world. Everything is tidy, the coaches are put in the best conditions, there is enthusiasm and their work is respected. I think this is a perfect club for Zidane."
The Bavarians have announced that they will part ways with Thomas Tuchel at the end of the season.
