While Zinédine Zidane’s first strong choices at the head of the France team are already beginning to take shape, the French Football Federation has also completed a sensitive issue behind the scenes. According to The Teamthe contract of the future coach is now signed. A decisive step which above all allows the FFF to escape the new salary ceiling of 450,000 euros gross annually established by the law on the governance of professional sport.
As the implementing decrees have not yet been published at the time of signing, the federal body will not need to request an exemption from the Ministry of Sports. This choice will also make it possible to keep confidential the remuneration of the former Real Madrid coach, which should largely exceed the threshold provided for by the new text. The arrival of Zinédine Zidane will be officially ratified on Tuesday, following a meeting of the FFF executive committee, before a press conference organized at the Federation’s headquarters.
