Emmanuel Petit believes his former team-mate Zinedine Zidane was not interested in the Chelsea job because he doesn't speak English.
Zidane, who won three consecutive Champions League titles with Real Madrid, will not be the next Blues manager after chair Todd Boehly turned to former boss Frank Lampard. The Englishman was reappointed until the end of the season on Thursday afternoon.
Many Chelsea fans wanted Zidane to step into the hot seat at Stamford Bridge, but that won't be happening. Petit, who played for Chelsea and alongside Zidane at international level, has provided some intriguing insight into the mindset of the unattached coach.
