Zinedine Zidane expected to become French national football team head coach

According to journalist Fabrizio Romano, the French Football Federation intends to finalize an agreement with Zinedine Zidane following the conclusion of the World Cup. Zidane is the primary candidate to succeed current head coach Didier Deschamps. The former Real Madrid manager has reportedly prioritized the national team role, having declined all other coaching offers over the past eight months. While the federation prepares to sign the necessary documentation, this transition marks a significant shift for the French national team. Zidane has long been associated with the position and is now viewed as the frontrunner for the post. The formal appointment is expected to move forward immediately after the tournament concludes.
