Former world football star Zinedine Zidane will succeed Didier Deschamps as the coach of the French national team this summer, according to ESPN sources. Deschamps, who has led the team for 14 years, will leave the national team, and Zidane, a former captain of the team and coach of Real Madrid, has been waiting for this opportunity. At 53 years old, Zidane is considered an ideal candidate for the coaching position of the "Gallic rooster." The official appointment will take place after the conclusion of the 2026 World Cup, and the final details concern the composition of his staff. Philippe Diallo, head of the French Football Federation, has confirmed that he knows who Deschamps' successor will be, without revealing the name, but sources clearly point to Zidane.
