In the 2024/2025 season, Zidane is likely to become Bayern’s new coach. According to Mundo Deportivo, he’s very close to signing the contract. He was competing with Julian Nagelsmann for the job, but Nagelsmann decided to extend his contract with the German national team. Although Zidane hasn’t signed yet, the deal is almost done.
