Zinedine Zidane to be officially appointed as France manager on Tuesday
Zinedine Zidane will be officially appointed as the head coach of the French national team on Tuesday, replacing Didier Deschamps and signing a four-year contract until the 2030 World Cup.
A new era for 'Les Bleus' begins on Tuesday as Zinedine Zidane is set to be officially appointed as the head coach of the French national team. The 54-year-old, who has not coached since 2021 after his second stint at Real Madrid, will sign a four-year contract lasting until the 2030 World Cup.
This appointment ends the tenure of Didier Deschamps, who has been in charge of France since 2012. Under Deschamps, France won the 2018 World Cup and reached the final in 2022. Zidane, a legendary figure as both a player and coach, is expected to bring his tactical expertise to the national side.
The article also mentions that Real Madrid is interested in Spanish midfielder Rodri, recently named the best player of the World Cup. Rodri has only one year left on his contract with Manchester City. Additionally, at the Tour de France, Jasper Philipsen finally won stage 17 after several setbacks, though the general classification remained unchanged.
