ZIDANE: AVOIDING RELEGATION WILL PUSH US TO CHALLENGE FOR EUROPE
Ex-French iconic footballer and current manager of Ligue 1 relegation candidates Stade de Reims, Zinedine Zidane has told France 24 that he believes that if his side avoids relegation from the league, then it will spur the players on to make a bid for European football next season. He has already worked quickly to sign 33 year old French striker Nicolas Anelka, along with two other players, on a free transfer and he is hoping that he will help fire their way to safety. Whilst not much is expected of Les Rouges et Blanc, the club will hope that these new signings, combined with the knowledge and experience of Zidane, will help them stay clear of the drop zone.
Zinedine Zidane is hoping to save his new club from relegation.
However, he will need the help of star striker Nicolas Anelka if he is going to do so.
