Zinedine Zidane never stops being patient. If the former playmaker is still determined to sit on the bench of the France team, it seems certain that Didier Deschamps will remain in post until the end of his contract, at the end of the Coupe du world 2026. A situation that arouses desire. Many teams have indeed tried to take advantage of this to attract him.
At the end of the last African Cup of Nations, which ended with an early elimination and the departure of Djamel Belmadi, Algeria tried to make him its new coach. In vain. But another Zidane would again be in the Fennecs’ sights. In the absence of the father, Luca Zidane, one of the sons of the 1998 world champion, could indeed join the Algerian selection.
Luca Zidane attached to the Blues
Vladimir Petkovic, who finally succeeded Djamel Belmadi, would not be satisfied with the goalkeepers in place, Alexis Guendouz and Alexandre Oukidja, and would have checked the name of the son of ZZ, who has been playing in Granada since the start of the season. But if he was the hero of his club’s qualification on Tuesday for the third round of the Coupe du Roi, stopping a penalty then a shot on goal after converting his own, the native of Aix-en-Provence is most often confined to the bench.
It remains to be seen whether Luca Zidane, who played for all the French youth teams, from U16 to U20, even winning the title of European champion with the Bleuets among the U17s, will be sensitive to the interest of Algeria . “I’m having my best season. I’m reaching maturity in my game. There are a lot of things that are still allowed. I would like to experience Ligue 1 one day. It’s a goal, like that of believing in the Blues, he confided in the spring of 2023. I am ambitious. I am a competitor. I know what I want. »
