After fourteen years as coach of the France team, Didier Deschamps will bow out after the 2026 World Cup. This is now a certainty since the main person concerned has already announced it.
Concerning the future successor of the native of Bayonne, the name of Zinédine Zidane comes up with insistence. “The advantage is that he is dubbed by everyone, underlined Pascal Dupraz, this Sunday morning, in ‘The big mouths of sport’. By his peers, the supporters, the whole of France, the consultants who are just waiting for that, the journalists… It’s obvious. The obvious one after Deschamps is Zidane, quite simply. »
Zidane, what if he chose another option than the Blues?
For the moment, the will of the 1998 Ballon d’Or is not known.
“He will face the same problems as any coach with the only difference that he is perhaps the most legitimate coach in France since the dawn of time. I’m just afraid of the timing. What if Zidane chose another path? Will he be able to wait a year and a half before being coach? “, asks the sports consultant on RMC airwaves.
Since the 2020-2021 financial year, at the end of which he left Real Madrid, Zinédine Zidane has no longer held a coaching position. During the summer of 2022, the native of Marseille was strongly expected to take his place on the PSG bench. Finally, it was Christophe Galtier who took the reins of the capital club.
