Calciomercato reported that Saudi Football Federation officials have contacted Zinedine Zidane to take over the Saudi national team.
The decision was made within the Saudi Federation to dismiss Roberto Mancini from his position as coach of the Green Falcons after poor results and performance recently.
The decision is expected to be made public in a few days once a settlement is reached with the Italian coach regarding his financial dues.
According to the latest report, Saudi officials have contacted former Real Madrid coach Zidane and offered him to coach the Green Falcons in the coming period.
Zizou’s reaction has not been revealed, but it is likely that contracting with him is difficult given that he only wants to coach the French national team or clubs whose language he speaks.
In the same context, the report confirmed that the Saudi Federation has contacted a coach who is familiar with the ins and outs of local football, and we are talking here about Ramon Diaz.
The Argentine previously coached Al Hilal and achieved many accomplishments with them, as well as coaching another giant, Al Ittihad, and he knows very well how things work in Saudi Arabia and seems like a suitable choice for this task.
It remains to be noted that the name of Herve Renard is still on the table, in addition to the possibility of contracting with a local coach, which is the current coach of Al Hazm Club, Saleh Al Mohammadi.
