French team: the officialization of Zinédine Zidane is scheduled for Tuesday

As he prepares to begin the 2026-2027 season at the head of LOSC, Davide Ancelotti spoke in an interview with The Team. Carlo Ancelotti’s son notably returned to several subjects, including the case of Zinédine Zidane, who will soon take over from Didier Deschamps at the head of the France team. The Lille coach thus gave his view on the arrival of the French legend on the Blues bench.

“I have known Zizou since I was 8 years old, because he was my father’s player at Juve”first recalled Davide Ancelotti, who then worked closely with him when the latter was his father’s assistant at Real Madrid. “You could already see that the players had a lot of respect for him. He is a very humble person, who doesn’t talk much, but every time he speaks, everyone listens. He has a lot of aura, charisma. After Deschamps, he is the best successor that the French team could dream of having”declared the 37-year-old technician.
