Zinedine Zidane confirmed on Sunday that he harbours ambitions to manage the France national team one day, though he did not specify whether he intends to succeed outgoing coach Didier Deschamps.
Zidane, a key player in Franceโs 1998 World Cup triumph over Brazil and a three-time Champions League-winning manager with Real Madrid, stated, โIโm sure Iโll get back into coaching. Iโm not saying itโs going to happen now, but coaching the national team is something I aspire to.โ
The 53-year-old is the frontrunner to take over from Deschamps, who is expected to step down after next yearโs World Cup in the United States, Canada, and Mexico. Zidane emphasised the importance of a coachโs passion and energy for a teamโs success, crediting these attributes as crucial to achieving positive results.
