Paris Saint-Germain 'confident of appointing Zinedine Zidane as head coach'

Paris Saint-Germain are reportedly putting a plan in place to appoint Zinedine Zidane as their new head coach ahead of the 2022-23 campaign.

Zidane has been without a position since leaving his post at Real Madrid last May, and the 49-year-old is believed to be interested in moving to the French capital.

Mauricio Pochettino has a contract with PSG until June 2023, but Manchester United are believed to be working to name the Argentine as their new head coach at the end of the current season.

According to Marca, 'many within PSG' are 'certain' that Zidane will be in charge of the Ligue 1 outfit for the 2022-23 campaign.

Zidane was also linked with Man United after Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's departure as manager, but reports suggested that the former midfielder was waiting for the France job.

The Frenchman won two La Liga titles and three Champions League crowns during his two spells as head coach of Los Blancos.
