French legend Zinedine Zidane has already agreed on his next job in football, Topsport reported. The former Real Madrid coach plans to replace Didier Deschamps at the helm of the French national team.
Deschamps announced that he is stepping down from his post after the 2026 World Cup. Zidane has already agreed a preliminary agreement with the French Football Federation, claims "Mundo Deportivo". The 52-year-old Zidane has managed to win some privileges. The contract with the French Federation will provide for a start date for the job, but will not have a final one. The world and European champion will decide for himself when to leave the "Roosters".
In addition, the legend was allowed to continue living in Madrid and come to his homeland only for training and matches.
The Frenchman's coaching experience is limited to two periods at Real (Madrid): from January 2016 to May 2018 and from March 2019 to May 2021. During this time, he won 11 trophies with the "Kings", including 3 Champions League trophies.
