Zinedine Zidane Prepares to Take Over the French National Team After 2026 World Cup.
Zidane has been without a club since 2021… but that’s about to change. While he appears to be enjoying life and staying in shape, things are moving differently behind the scenes.
According to Mundo Deportivo, initial discussions have taken place with the FFF, and Zidane is already working behind the scenes to ensure a smooth transition. He could even sign an open-ended contract, staying as long as results are satisfactory.
