Arsenal legend, Emmanuel Petit, has explained why ex Real Madrid Manager, Zinedine Zidane will not replace Graham Potter as Chelsea manager.

According to reports in Spain, Zidane, 50, is a candidate to take over as Chelsea’s head coach.

Despite only taking over as Chelsea’s head coach in September of last year, Potter is facing tremendous pressure as a result of the Blues‘ appalling run of results.

However, Petit does not believe that Potter’s replacement at Stamford Bridge should be Zidane.

Petit 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 [Zidane] 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 have had feedback from fans who have said that they don’t want Zinedine Zidane because he is never declared his flame to the Premier League and he is 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.

“The one argument I agree with is that he needs a job after being two years without one, and he might be [Todd] Boehly’s choice, but Boehly, pardon me, he knows nothing about football.

“If he is just flashing on the bling of the name, then there are plenty of other managers out there who don’t have a job and know the Premier League better.”
