It's an open secret:
Zinedine Zidane will succeed Didier Deschamps on the French team bench. The question of the timing for the officialization of this news, however, causes a little more suspense.
“Everyone knows it’s going to be him, said Christophe Dugarry on RMC. Who else do you want it to be? Afterwards, it is Deschamps who will validate the schedule. He's the one who will say: 'I'm afraid this will disrupt my team, it's not the right time, let's wait a little longer'. The president of the Federation (Philippe Diallo) perhaps also wants to make it an event where he recruits Zidane, perhaps he wants to make a profit. »
On paper, the 1998 Ballon d'Or seems to be the ideal candidate to become the 17th coach in the history of the Blues. The native of Marseille has already confirmed on several occasions his desire to occupy this prestigious position.
Zidane coach of the Blues, when will the big announcement be made?
“Bringing Zidane into the French team is not trivial either, continues the great friend of “ZZ”. Maybe he wants to put some form into it, to make this moment a global event. But honestly, it won't change anything, we know it's him. From the moment Zizou was a candidate, he became the chosen one. Quite simply. »
As a reminder, the latter has not been on the bench since 2021. With Real Madrid, he has won eleven titles as a coach, including three Champions Leagues consecutively (2016, 2017 and 2018).
