Frenchman reveals why triple Champions League winner will make Chelsea decision when board sack Potter

Emmanuel Petit has explained why Zinedine Zidane will not replace Graham Potter as CHELSEA head coach.

Graham Potter is a man that is under fire at Stamford Bridge and a man that is tipped to be the next Premier League manager to get the sack – especially as the club are well down in the chase for a Champions League place next season.

That has led to some stunning reports in the media that Chelsea have made their moves to try and sign the Frenchman – and have even reportedly made contact with the Frenchman about a move to London

Petit, though, does not see Zidane as a realistic target as he told RMC Sport: ‘I might be wrong, but I don’t believe it for one second, for various reasons.

‘You spoke about it when you introduced the topic: Zizou doesn’t speak English, and while he might be learning it, knowing his style of management and how he works with players, he likes being close, and you need communication for that.

‘I’ve had feedback from fans who have said that they don’t want Zinedine Zidane because he’s never declared his flame to the Premier League and he’s openly said that he much prefers a technical game, which I can completely understand when you look at the manager he is and player he was.
