Zidane has been a long-term managerial target for the Parisians and was in the running for the job when Mauricio Pochettino was sacked in July.

PSG ended up appointing Christophe Galtier as Pochettino’s successor, but they are still interested in Zidane.

So much so that they are even trying to entice the Frenchman to arrive in January with Galtier making way.

However, Zidane has two conditions to become PSG’s boss, which concerns president Nasser Al-Khelaifi.

If the former Madrid manager is to arrive at the Parc des Princes, he would like Al-Khelaifi removed from his post as club president.

Al-Khelaifi has been the chief at Paris since the Qatari takeover back in 2011.

He has overseen some of the most expensive deals in football history, including the world-record £199.8 million that they paid Barcelona for Neymar in 2017.

Despite this, it appears Zidane has reservations over working under the Qatari businessman.

Meanwhile, Zidane is also keeping a close eye on developments in the French national team as he is eager to succeed Les Blues manager Didier Deschamps.

The Frenchman’s contract as French national team manager expires next December, giving Zidane hope of becoming his successor.

However, if Deschamps remains in charge beyond that date, Zidane’s plans may have to be reanalyzed and the Parisian job may be an opportunity.
