Zidane will replace Deschamps as coach of the French national team after the 2026 World Cup. |
According to RMC Sport : "Didier Deschamps will leave his position in 2026. In a year's time, the French national team will have Zidane in the hot seat. The decision has been made."
With his stature, experience, and deep connection to the national team, Zidane is expected to continue Deschamps' legacy and usher in a new era of success for French football. An official announcement is expected soon, marking the long-awaited return of one of Europe's best strategists.
The 53-year-old coach has not managed any team since parting ways with Real Madrid for the second time in May 2021. During his two stints managing "Los Blancos," he won three consecutive Champions League titles (2016-2018) and two La Liga championships.
Previously, coach Deschamps announced he would leave the French national team after the 2026 World Cup in the USA, Canada, and Mexico. At that time, he would conclude a glorious 14-year career, including winning the 2018 World Cup and finishing as runner-up in Qatar in 2022.
Zidane's appointment as the French national team was a huge boost for French football. Zidane had previously led France to victory in the 1998 World Cup and Euro 2000 as a player, and has become an enduring icon in the hearts of fans.
Speaking to the media, Zidane once hinted: "The French national team has always been a part of my heart. Leading the team would be a great honor if the time were right. I still feel like a coach, I'm just waiting for the right opportunity."
