Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has revealed that Zinedine Zidane has reached a verbal agreement with the French Football Federation to take charge of the France national team after the upcoming FIFA World Cup finals.
According to the same source, current head coach Didier Deschamps will step down following the conclusion of the tournament next summer, paving the way for Zidane to begin a new era with Les Bleus.
Zidane has been away from coaching since leaving Real Madrid in the summer of 2021, despite being linked with several European projects in recent years. However, coaching the French national team has long been considered his ultimate ambition — a dream that now appears close to becoming reality.
If the agreement is officially finalized, it will mark Zidane’s first experience at international level, following a highly successful managerial spell at Real Madrid.
