Zidane will succeed France coach Didier Deschamps after the World Cup. The latter has confirmed it will mark his final tournament in charge.
Deschamps told TF1 in January: “In 2026 it will be over.
“In my head it’s very clear. I’ve done my time, with the same desire and passion to maintain France at the highest level, but 2026 is a very good (time to stop).
“One has to be able to say stop, there’s a life after this. The most important thing is for France to stay at the top as they have been for many years.”
