‘Mbappe will surpass everyone at Real Madrid’, says Zidane

However, there is one sensational condition and that is connected to Saudi Arabia. If the ongoing sale of Gulf State goes through then Zidane will be ready to take charge of the French team.

The report continues to state that Saudi Arabia have their eyes firmly set on the French side and are dreaming of ‘making the club the Newcastle of France’.

It is believed that Zidane has asked a budget of 250 million euros and Saudi Arabia are willing to oblige.

The news is a huge shock given that Genarro Gattuso has been appointed as new OM head-coach just yesterday. It remains to be seen how things unfold.

Zidane has had a highly elusive career both as a player and a manager, with the Frenchman becoming the first and only coach to lift the Champions League three years in a row with Real Madrid.
