French Football Federation, Didier Deschamps and Zinedine Zidane
Thursday
The French Football Federation will present France’s new head coach on Tuesday, 28 July. The announcement follows Didier Deschamps stepping aside, with several reports naming Zinedine Zidane as the expected successor to the national-team role.
The unveiling will follow an extraordinary executive committee meeting at the federation’s headquarters. If Zidane is confirmed, France will move into the next cycle with a national icon after five years away from frontline coaching.
