Zidane will replace Deschamps to lead the French team after the 2026 World Cup.

A source from RMC Sport wrote: "Didier Deschamps will leave his position in 2026. In a year, the French team will have Zidane in the hot seat. The decision has been made."

With his stature, experience and deep connection with the team, Zidane is expected to continue Deschamps' legacy to open a new cycle of success for French football. An official announcement is expected in the near future, marking the long-awaited return of one of Europe's best strategists.

The 53-year-old has not coached a team since leaving Real Madrid for the second time in May 2021. During his two spells with Los Blancos, he won three consecutive Champions League titles (2016-2018) and two La Liga titles.

Previously, coach Deschamps announced that he would leave the French team after the 2026 World Cup in the US, Canada and Mexico. At that time, he will close 14 glorious years, including the 2018 World Cup championship and the runner-up position at Qatar 2022.

Zidane's takeover of the French national team was a huge boost for French football. Zidane led France to the 1998 World Cup and Euro 2000 as a player, and became an immortal icon in the hearts of fans.

Responding to the media, Zidane once hinted: "The French team has always been a part of my heart. Leading the team would be a great honor if the right time comes. I still feel like a coach, just waiting for the right opportunity."
