Zinedine Zidane has reportedly declined a new offer from French champions PSG, according to French publication L’Equipe.
PSG had expressed interest in hiring Zidane as a replacement for Christophe Galtier, but the renowned coach has turned down the approach.
Zidane’s ultimate ambition is to take charge of the French national team, as he dreams of managing his home country.
However, Zidane remains open to a potential return to Juventus, although current coach Max Allegri currently holds the position at the Italian club.
Zidane has been out of club management since his departure from Real Madrid two seasons ago.

During his tenure, he achieved remarkable success by guiding the team to three consecutive UEFA Champions League titles and two La Liga titles.
Despite clinching the French league title, PSG consider their recently concluded season a disappointment. As a result, they are planning to replace their manager, Christophe Galtier, and also allow certain players to leave the team.
Notably, Lionel Messi and defender Sergio Ramos have already departed from PSG, while Neymar is expected to follow suit after facing criticism from disgruntled supporters throughout the season.
Since the acquisition by Qatari owners, PSG have invested significant amounts of money, yet they have yet to achieve their coveted goal of winning the UEFA Champions League. Their closest attempt came in 2020 when they reached the final but were defeated by Bayern Munich.
