Zidane set to lead Les Bleus? Verbal agreement reportedly in place

Zinédine Zidane could soon take the helm of the French national team. According to Fabrizio Romano, a verbal agreement has reportedly been reached between the former Real Madrid manager and the French Football Federation.

Zidane would succeed Didier Deschamps after the 2026 World Cup, as Deschamps has already announced his departure. The FFF has been working on this scenario for several months, and Zidane is said to be the frontrunner for the role. The goal is to kick off a new era for Les Bleus, featuring a more dynamic and less predictable style of play, built around stars like Kylian Mbappé.

Unattached since 2021, Zidane remains a global reference thanks to his three Champions League titles with Real Madrid. The big question: could a potential call from Real change everything before 2026?
