Zinédine Zidane is clearly seen as Didier Deschamps’ successor on the France national team bench after the 2026 World Cup. A choice that is already sparking a lot of discussion.

For former Les Bleus striker Nicolas Anelka, the decision has already been made.

"I don’t know if it’s official, but I think it’s going to be Zidane. Everyone says it’ll be him, and he’s the best choice. He proved it at Real Madrid," the Frenchman told Cadena SER.

There may even already be a verbal agreement between Zidane and the French Football Federation.
