EKO HOT BLOG reports that speaking in an interview with Oddspedia, Desailly disclosed that both English clubs presented Zidane with “blank cheque” offers, yet he rejected them, proving that financial incentives are not what drive the former Real Madrid boss.

“Will Zinedine Zidane be tempted by Saudi Arabia? Well, he had a blank cheque on the table from Chelsea and a blank cheque from Manchester United and turned them down – he isn’t in it for the money,” Desailly said.

He added that Zidane remains focused on the France national team and is closely monitoring the situation, especially as current coach Didier Deschamps edges closer to the end of his long reign.

“He likes to travel and always keeps an eye on the France national team. He’s ready because Didier Deschamps has started the transition,” Desailly added.

Zidane, a football icon who guided Real Madrid to three consecutive UEFA Champions League titles, has frequently been tipped as Deschamps’ natural successor. With Deschamps having served since 2012, growing speculation suggests a change could be on the horizon.

“Zidane can lead the next generation of French footballers to the top of the world game,” he said.
