There are reports that Bayern Munich want to sign Zinedine Zidane for the new season. According to the rumors in the press, Bayern Munich managers have already contacted Zinedine Zidane's agents. Zinedine Zidane has been waiting for Real Madrid and the France national team for a long time, but Ancelotti at Real Madrid and Deschamps at the France national team have been successful, so it was not his time. I think Bayern Munich would be the right choice for his career. Bayern Munich didn't win the championship this season but next season they will be one of the strong favorites for the title in the Bundesliga.
Rumors about Zidane always appear when a team is thought to need a new coach, it happens many times and at the same time it never happens and is just a rumor. I just heard that Bayern Munich has sent someone to meet with Zidane's side, maybe if that's true then they are really serious about collaborating with Zidane.
I won't talk much about this, because when it comes to Zidane the end is always the same, namely there is no contractual cooperation between them. However, I will not rule out the possibility that Zidane will accept the offer that comes to him.
Chelsea could be competitive before because they had very good financial resources and could strengthen the team if necessary. You saw how many players left Chelsea in the summer, it seems to me that now they are experiencing a natural result. Pochettino is a good coach, but like any other coach, he needs finances to strengthen the team, because it is obvious that with the current squad he will not be able to achieve anything.
Agree, Chelsea does have a fairly good financial condition, but it seems like it's too late for Chelsea this season, Chelsea is currently in the top 9 of the standings, to get into the top three of the standings it seems like the points they have are too far away. It is possible that Chelsea will buy several quality new players to increase the team's strength next season. Because if you prepare for this season, it's not enough to catch up on the points that are so far away.
The problem is when they have good finances, but they can't take advantage of it. Some of the players they brought in did not have much impact on them and even some of the players they brought in could be categorized as failed purchases if we want to say more extreme things.
This is what makes it very difficult for Chelsea to develop, if we remember that in the transfer market they spent a lot of money and they brought in a lot of players, but it didn't have any impact on them. Maybe some players can have an influence, but that is not enough to make Chelsea play better.
