Zidane to Replace Deschamps? France Awaits Coaching Change

Zinedine Zidane

Tension is mounting within the French national team, fueled by head coach Didier Deschamps' contentious decision to exclude Kylian Mbappé from recent call-ups. The move has reportedly sparked unrest among players, many of whom are questioning Deschamps' leadership and advocating for a change at the helm.

According to Todofichajes, Zinedine Zidane is the clear favorite to succeed Deschamps. The legendary Frenchman has been out of management since departing Real Madrid in 2021, deliberately holding out for the opportunity to lead his nation. Zidane has turned down numerous high-profile offers during this period, staying focused on one goal: managing Les Bleus. Despite widespread speculation that Deschamps would step aside after Euro 2024, he remains in charge, leaving Zidane to wait patiently for his chance.

Zidane’s coaching résumé may be limited to his time at Real Madrid, but it is nothing short of extraordinary. Over five seasons, he guided Los Blancos to 11 trophies, including an unprecedented three consecutive UEFA Champions League titles—a record that cements his place among the most successful managers in the sport's history.

For now, the French Football Federation faces mounting pressure to address internal discontent as the possibility of a Zidane era looms ever closer.
