Free since leaving Real Madrid two years ago, Zinedine Zidane still thinks of the French team, despite Didier Deschamps’ extension at the head of the Blues until the 2026 World Cup. It’s a real obsession for Zizou.
Last summer, Paris Saint-Germain tried everything to secure the services of Zinedine Zidane. At the time, the Parisian club was looking for a successor to Mauricio Pochettino, but the staff of PSG had suffered the categorical refusal of Zinedine Zidane. At the time, the 1998 world champion only had the French team in mind and was waiting for the outcome of the World Cup to find out if the place would become available.

Bad news for the native of Marseille, Didier Deschamps has been extended until the 2026 World Cup. A big blow for Zinedine Zidane, who has still not rebounded despite his name circulating at Manchester United, at Juventus Turin or even at Paris Saint-Germain very recently. In an interview with GQ Magazine, “Zizou” admitted that he always thought of the Blues and that was not about to change. Didier Deschamps is warned, as soon as the place becomes free, his former teammate in the French team will jump at the chance.
Zidane still dreams of the French national team
“I’ve often said that when you know the France team as a player and you become a coach, it’s just logical to think about it. But now is not the time” explains Zinedine Zidane before concluding. “When I was in Cannes, I wanted to go to Bordeaux. Then I wanted to play at Juve and then Madrid because it was a different and stronger experience each time. We just call it ambition. I have always been ambitious and I have always believed in myself. I rush “ details the former Real Madrid coach, who takes his troubles patiently. In the meantime, everyone does not know where the former Juventus Turin and Girondins de Bordeaux midfielder will bounce.
