New manager to sign with France this month, says Fabrizio Romano | OneFootball

If he said it, then it’s said!

Fabrizio Romano has dropped his trademark “Here we go” for Zinedine Zidane as the new coach of France.

According to the journalist, the French legend has already finalized his coaching staff, and the documents will be formally signed later this month.

He will lead France in the Nations League, at Euro 2028, and at the 2030 World Cup.

The deal had already been widely seen as certain by the European press for several months.

Zidane will take over from Didier Deschamps, his former teammate in France’s 1998 World Cup-winning side, who will leave Les Bleus after 14 years in charge – and a World Cup title won as coach.

Deschamps says goodbye this Saturday (18), in the third-place match against England at the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
