The French Football Federation announced today, Tuesday, the appointment of Zinedine Zidane as technical director of the first team, succeeding Didier Deschamps.
Deschamps left coaching France after failing in the 2026 World Cup, which was held in the United States of America, Canada, and Mexico.
The French national team finished fourth after a heavy loss to England with a score of 6-4.
After waiting 5 years, Zinedine Zidane returned to coaching again by officially leading the French national team.
Zidane is scheduled to be linked with a contract with France until the 2030 World Cup.
The French legend - who is 54 years old - returns to the bench after five years of leaving Real Madrid.
Attention will now turn to the announcement of Zidane's first squad and his opening match with France on September 25 against Turkey in the UEFA Nations League competitions.
