WHAT HAPPENED? Zidane is the favourite to be offered the PSG job if current manager Galtier is sacked, according to L'Equipe. The Parisians aren't officially on the hunt for a new coach but are discussing potential candidates. Zidane was in the mix for the France job before they offered Didier Deschamps a long-term extension.
