According to journalist Jose Felix Diaz of AS , Zidane is "almost certain" to become the head coach of the French national team after the 2026 World Cup. This information has also been mentioned by many French newspapers recently.

Didier Deschamps' current contract with the French Football Federation (FFF) expires in July 2026. He is reportedly not planning to renew it after leading "Les Bleus" since 2012.

Deschamps' next destination is reportedly Saudi Arabia, as he and his associates are considering an attractive offer. This paves the way for Zidane to take over the national team.

The news that Zidane could lead "Les Bleus" is creating great expectations in France. This legend made 108 appearances for the national team, scoring 31 goals and playing a major role in France's 1998 World Cup victory.

As a coach, Zidane led Real Madrid to three consecutive Champions League titles, a rare achievement in football history.

In recent years, Zidane has primarily devoted his time to charitable activities and attending sporting events. Since leaving Real Madrid in 2021, he has not returned to coaching.

Despite receiving numerous offers, including the opportunity to coach the US national team at the 2022 World Cup, Zidane patiently waited for the right chance.
