💣Bombshell: Zidane set to take charge of France after the World Cup | OneFootball

The news that all of French football had been waiting for has finally broken: Zinedine Zidane will be the next head coach of the French National Team. According to the latest reports, there is already a full verbal agreement between the French star and the French Football Federation (FFF) for "Zizou" to take the reins of "Les Bleus," thus putting an end to years of speculation about his future on the national bench.

The succession after the World Cup

Although the agreement is a fact, the change of command will not be immediate. The plan is for Zidane to take over right after the 2026 World Cup, which will be held in the United States, Mexico, and Canada. In this way, the former Real Madrid coach will succeed Didier Deschamps, marking the beginning of a new era for the world champion team of 1998 and 2018.

A long-term project

Zidane's arrival represents a strategic move for the FFF, which aims to refresh its sporting project with a man who commands absolute respect from both players and fans. After turning down multiple offers from top clubs in recent years, Zidane will fulfill his personal dream of managing his country's team, with the goal of keeping France at the top of international football.
