After having refused many major proposals over the past four years (from PSG to Saudi Arabia via Bayern, Manchester United and even Real Madrid), Zinedine Zidane is already preparing to take the reins of the French team next summer, after the 2026 World Cup. The work.
As recently indicated The teamthe number 10 of the World Champions 98 carefully follows the French internationals, “Sometimes learns about personalities via his network, including in the current entourage of the Blues”or thanks to the echoes he can have from the Real Madrid locker room, where Aurélien Tchouameni, Eduardo Camavonga and the tricolor captain Kylian Mbappé evolve. “ZZ knows everything”ensures a loved one.
Zinedine Zidane can even project himself on the first matches he will run at the head of the Blues. The French team will compete in the 2026-2027 Nations League and the first four days of the group phase will be contested in a new international window of two full weeks, from September 21 to October 6, 2026 (as decided by FIFA).
Shocks for Zidane Blues
The tricolor training already knows its potential adversaries. The drawing hats, early 2026, are based on the results of the last edition. France participated in the Final Four last June in Germany – defeat against Spain and then victory against the Mannschaft to finish 3rd – and will head the next Nations League. The EDF of Zidane will therefore not confront Portugal, Spain and Germany, but the draw can offer sacred shocks, as is often the case in the League of Nations.
In hat 2 of the draw, we will thus find Italy-for possible reunions between Zidane and Calcio-as well as the Netherlands, Denmark and Croatia. Hat 3 is made up of England by Thomas Tuchel, Belgium from Rudi Garcia, Norway from Erling Haaland and Serbia. Finally, Wales, Czech Republic, Greece and Turkey are the four teams in hat 4 of the draw. The first two of each hen will access the quarterfinals in March 2027.
