Zinédine Zidane has perhaps been waiting for him for many years. The position of coach of the France team is in any case soon available. Didier Deschamps officially announced his intention to leave after the 2026 World Cup. “It has been very clear in my head for a long time, I just clarified. But it’s not for tomorrow, there are still great deadlines. All good things come to an end. It’s going to be 14 years, that’s okay! I’ve done my time. No one is irreplaceable. I made sure to be the most essential also with the results that you know,” Deschamps further underlined in recent hours.
A royal road for a certain Zinédine Zidane? In 2022, in the columns of the Team, the legendary former number 10 of the Blues, and successful coach of Real Madrid, did not hide his ambition to take charge of the Blues. “I want to, of course. I will be, I hope, one day. When ? It doesn’t depend on me. But I want to come full circle with the French team. I knew this French team as a player. And it’s the most beautiful thing that’s ever happened to me! “.
Zidane has no intention of rushing
Now that everything is in agreement, will the marriage between Zidane and the Blues quickly come to fruition? Not necessarily… Because the FFF has already announced, through Philippe Diallo, its intention to take its time to announce a successor to Deschamps, still there for a year and a half. But also because Zinédine Zidane himself has no intention of rushing. In any case, this is what Marca has announced in recent hours, specifying that Zidane is “very calm” after Deschamps’ announcement and that “no announcement or decision” will be rushed in the near future. The Madrid daily assures that “Zinedine is very clear about his way of acting and is not going to position himself as a replacement for Deschamps, even if only one day after the announcement of the news, many voices are already designating him as the ideal » to take over from the Blues. The Zidane file in the French team will therefore drag on for a while.
