Former Real Madrid player and manager Zinedine Zidane has expressed that he is interested in becoming Chelsea’s next manager, but will only do so if the Blues adhere to two major conditions he has spelt out.
Zidane has stated that he will only coach Chelsea if he is given a massive £200 million transfer budget, as well as the retention of Eden Hazard at the club.
Since the Frenchman left Real Madrid after winning the Champions League, he has been without a coaching position.
Initially, he was strongly linked to taking up the job at Manchester United. However, this changed when the Red Devils hired Ole Solskjaer as their interim manager.
That being said, the current Chelsea Manager Maurizio Sarri has been on the spot this season after a string of horrific performances have strongly indicated his departure this season.
Zidane, who last won the Champion’s League with Real Madri, is looking to replace Sarri and to transform Chelsea into European title contenders once more.
Nevertheless, the premier league giants will have to invest a massive £200 million in the transfer market, as well as to prohibit the transfer of Hazard from Stanford Bridge.
Indeed, Eden Hazard has been tied to a move to Real Madrid, and he even went on record to state that he had determined his direction for the future.
This has caused a massive reaction to Chelsea fans on Twitter as they would like to know what his final conclusion and direction will be.
