Weeks ago, Zidane received an offer to immediately join the daily operations of a top team, but his response left no room for doubt and forced the club to look for another coach.
The winner of three consecutive Champions League titles with Real Madrid acknowledged that his future was already committed - a full agreement with the FFF.
Les Bleus was always the job Zidane coveted, with the World Cup winner resisting lucrative offers from Al-Hilal, PSG and Chelsea since leaving the Real job in 2021.
