Zidane, a leader rather than a tactician, now leads Les Bleus | OneFootball

Zidane is the new France head coach, valued more for leadership than for complex tactics. His standing was forged at Real Madrid, where he guided Karim Benzema and Cristiano Ronaldo.

L'Équipe notes that Zidane does not see himself as a great tactician, yet his ability to communicate and command the respect of stars was proven in Madrid.

As a coach he has known only one club and one dressing room, at Real Madrid, the biggest and richest club in the world, and the best stocked with talent. He has never hidden that this was a privileged path.

He has said that from the day he took charge he knew he had the best players in the world and started with an advantage that other coaches do not have.

That grounding shapes his arrival with Les Bleus, with leadership and clarity at the heart of his approach.
