🚨 Mega comeback complete, Zinédine Zidane is back in management | OneFootball

Almost five years after his departure from Real Madrid, Zinédine Zidane is returning to football’s biggest stage. The 54-year-old is taking over from Didier Deschamps as head coach of the French national team. He has just been officially presented by the French Football Federation at a press conference. 

At 11 a.m., Zizou will be presented at a press conference in Paris — if he even needs an introduction. With Real, Zidane won the Champions League three years in a row between 2016 and 2018. 

Much like Jürgen Klopp in Germany, his name had been circulating in France for a long time when it came to the best possible successor to Deschamps. Deschamps had already announced before the World Cup that he would not be extending his contract.
