One of the most respected figures in the football world, Zinedine Zidane, has been away from the game for a while after leaving his position as head coach of Real Madrid in 2021. However, he now stands on the verge of returning to his beloved profession. Insiders and reputable football media outlets report that a new chapter may be opening for the French legend.
According to one reliable source, Defensa Central, Zidane is expected to take charge of the French national team after the conclusion of the 2026 World Cup. This would mean replacing Didier Deschamps, who has successfully led the team for many years.
This information was further confirmed by RMC Sport journalist Gilbert Brisbois, who stated that Zidane is indeed being considered as the main candidate to lead the French national team.
In a recent interview, Zidane himself said that he still feels like a full-fledged football coach and is ready to start working again if the right offer comes along. These words naturally sparked great interest among French football fans.
Didier Deschamps, in turn, reacted to this news with complete calm. According to him, Zidane would be an excellent choice as head coach:
— “Zizou is a natural and widely expected choice. His experience and authority will be a huge plus for the French national team,” Deschamps said.
It is well known that coaching the French national team is Zinedine Zidane’s biggest dream. For this reason, he has been turning down offers from major clubs every year. His main goal is to lead the national team to the top and open another bright chapter in French football history.
If this plan comes to fruition, the French national team could enter a new era and, under Zidane’s leadership, aim for even greater heights.
