Zinedine Zidane, the legendary football player, has his eyes set on becoming the head coach of the France national team in the future. Zidane, who has previously managed Real Madrid and won the Champions League three times in a row, expressed his desire to take charge of Les Blues once the position becomes available after the next World Cup. The current manager, Didier Deschamps, has announced that he will step down after 14 years in charge, paving the way for Zidane to potentially lead his country.
Zidane, who was part of the 1998 World Cup-winning French team alongside Deschamps, has a chance to follow in his former teammate’s footsteps and become one of the few individuals to win the World Cup as both a player and a manager. The iconic midfielder made these comments during his appearance at the Festival dello Sport in Trento, where he also hinted at a possible return to coaching in the near future. While Zidane has been linked with managerial positions at clubs like Manchester United and Juventus in the past, his focus seems to be on taking the reins of the French national team.
Despite the speculation surrounding his next move, Zidane remains uncertain about his future and whether he will choose to manage Juventus, a club close to his heart. The Frenchman acknowledged the significance of Juventus in his career but emphasized that he has made other choices in the past. With the possibility of leading France on the horizon, Zidane’s attention seems to be on the international stage, where he could potentially add to his already impressive list of achievements. Whether he ends up at Juventus or takes charge of Les Blues, Zidane’s return to coaching is eagerly anticipated by football fans around the world.
