Will Zinedine Zidane return to service soon? The former world champion has repeated on more than one occasion that this was his wish.
He also repeated more than once that he wanted a challenge that would allow him to win trophies. According to his own words, there are only a few teams that tick all the boxes of the former Real Madrid boss.
“You don’t know Zizou well”
With the announcement of Didier Deschamps to stop with the French team in 2026, after fourteen years of good and loyal service and victories, a path seems clear. For the moment, no announcement has been made in this direction but for some former teammates, it seems obvious.
“But you think he’s afraid of not doing as well as Deschamps? You don’t know Zizou well, stop,” said Christophe Dugarry about the man alongside whom he won the World Cup.
-“He is not afraid of the challenge”
“He’s not afraid of the challenge, he’s not afraid of getting wet, nor of failure, it’s a childhood dream for him (to coach the Blues, editor’s note), like wearing the jersey “, added Dugarry.
For him, there is no doubt, the desire to become the coach of the Blues is intact: “If he still wants to coach France? But obviously, that’s why when I read Le Graët said that he doubted Zidane’s interest… But fortunately he was fired. You realize that he was president of the Federation, and he didn’t know that Zizou wanted to become coach. , but man…”
After the World Cup in Qatar, Zidane had already been urged to coach the French team but Deschamps continued and Zizou continued to follow football as a spectator.
