The question is settled: Zidane is the head coach of France

Goodbye Deschamps

Months of speculation and anticipation have been lifted after renowned Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano, who specializes in transfer news, revealed the completion of an agreement between French football legend Zinedine Zidane and the French Football Federation to take charge of the Roosters’ national team, replacing veteran coach Didier Deschamps.

Romano categorically confirms through his official Facebook account that “Zizou” has fully approved all the terms and details of the contract presented to him, as well as a comprehensive agreement has been reached regarding the composition of the assistant of the technical staff, who will accompany him to the upcoming visit of the head of the coaching staff of the French national team.

The prominent Italian journalist noted that the former coach of the Spanish “Real Madrid” made his personal choice a long time ago and gave his preliminary approval to the project of coaching the French national team a long time ago. He has flatly rejected several tempting offers he has received from major European clubs since last December, preferring to wait and wait patiently until he gets the chance to lead his country’s national team on his own.

Romano explained that all the arrangements regarding the formation of the technical staff assistant have already been completed and the former world champion is expected to put his official signature on the contracts in the next few days, as soon as Deschamps completes his mission and officially leaves the post after France’s participation in the 2026 World Cup ends.
