Michail Antonio reacts to rumours Tottenham could appoint Zinedine Zidane

Zinedine Zidan💎e has now been linked with the Tottenham Hotspur job and West Ham United’s Michail Antonio has delivered his verdict on the rumours.

Spurs parted ways with Antonio Conte on Sunday. The Italian’s furious outburst following the game against Southampton eight days pr🥀io💖r to his departure proved to be the last straw, and he’s now gone.

Tottenham have been linked with a whole host of managers over the last few days, and Zidane is the latest name to 𝕴come out of the♏ rumour mill.

Michail Antonio reacts to rumours Tottenham could appoint Zinedine Zidane

Mauricio Pochettinoℱ seemed the likeliest to replace Conte at Tottenham, but the fact that Daniel Levy hasn’t jumped 🎀to appoint him yet shows he’s not the first choice.

Julian Nagelsmann apparently is the priority, but will the German accept a job at Tottenham when there’s a 💫possibility of going to Real Madrid in the summer? It seems unlikely.

The ﷽new name to come out of the rumour mill is Zidane, who has been out of work since leaving Rea🌌l Madrid back in the summer of 2021.

The legendary Frenchman is a serial winner, having won 11 trophies in his two spells at the Santiago Bernabeu. It would be a massive statement if Spurs could land ꧟him, but Antonio believes there’s no chance.

He said on on BBC Sound𓄧s: “Zidane won’t go to♌ Spurs! That isn’t going to happen.”

TBR View:

It really does seem unlikely that Zidane will become the nextཧ Tottenham manager.

The 50-year-old Frenchman has only ever been at Real Madrid, and with the job opening up there again, he could ꦜconsider returning. The Paris Saint-Germain hot seat c🐻ould also be up for grabs this summer, and that could be an interesting option too for Zidane.

We just can’t see Zidane making tꦫhe move to North London this summer, but stranger things have happened in football in the pas🍎t, which means we cannot rule out anything.

It ♐will be interesting to what will happen with Tottenham and Zidane this summer.
