# Tottenham: Levy may yet target Zinedine Zidane

**[According to The Telegraph](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2021/05/27/spurs-considering-antonio-conte-move-sounding-mauricio-pochettino/?utm_content=football&utm_medium=Social&utm_campaign=Echobox&utm_source=Twitter#Echobox=1622133851-1), Daniel Levy could soon make a move for Zinedine Zidane as he continues the search for Tottenham’s new permanent manager.**

### **The Lowdown: The search goes on**

Jose Mourinho was sacked as Spurs boss over a month ago, but the north London outfit still remain without a permanent first-team manager.

In recent days, Mauricio Pochettino has been linked with a return to the club ([The Guardian](https://www.theguardian.com/football/2021/may/27/tottenham-hold-talks-with-mauricio-pochettino-over-return-as-manager)), while [Antonio Conte has also popped up on Spurs’ radar](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2021/05/27/spurs-considering-antonio-conte-move-sounding-mauricio-pochettino/?utm_content=football&utm_medium=Social&utm_campaign=Echobox&utm_source=Twitter#Echobox=1622133851-1) after leaving Internazionale. Now, though, Levy may have another name up his sleeve.

### **The Latest: Spurs could move for Zidane**

Zidane also recently left his post, departing Real Madrid following the end of the 2020/21 La Liga campaign.

As such, he could now emerge as a target for Spurs as they look to fill their vacancy as soon as possible, report [The Telegraph](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2021/05/27/spurs-considering-antonio-conte-move-sounding-mauricio-pochettino/?utm_content=football&utm_medium=Social&utm_campaign=Echobox&utm_source=Twitter#Echobox=1622133851-1).

### **The Verdict: Reaching for the stars**

There are few, if any managers in European football who can match Zidane’s record. He has won the Champions League three times as a manager, adding to the one he picked up as a player, while he also led Madrid to the La Liga title on two separate occasions. Already a legendary footballer, he can also be classed the same as a boss.

Zidane’s salary was said to be €12m a year (£10.3m) at Real Madrid ([wionews.com](https://www.wionews.com/photos/from-marcello-lippi-to-pep-guardiola-top-football-coaches-and-their-shocking-salaries-206491#zinedine-zidane-206482)), which works at around £198,000 a week. It is unclear what sort of wages the Frenchman would be looking for, but anything in line with his previous pay packet would be a considerable sum for Tottenham. Still, to get quality, you must be prepared to pay top-level prices.
