Former France star Emmanuel Petit has explained why Zinedine Zidane will not manage in the Premier League anytime soon.
Zidane has been linked with a move to Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur recently as he ponders his next managerial move since leaving Los Blancos.
The former Los Blancos tactician has been a free agent for three years, but reports claim he was waiting for the French national team job but coach Didier Deschamps had contract extended.

Despite the appeal of the Premier League, Petit says his former teammate is holding off on a move to England as he does not speak English.
"Zidane, he won't come. Definitely. Do you know why? Because he doesn't speak English," Petit told Stadium Astro.
"That's the truth - because I have known Zidane for ages and the way he manages players, he's very close, he always talks to his players.
"So he wants the communication to be a priority. Very important for him, he doesn't want someone to translate everything he has to say publicly."
