Didier Deschamps has given a strong endorsement to Zinedine Zidane as a potential successor for his role as the head coach of the France national team. Despite his own commitment to step down in 2026, Deschamps has stated that Zidane, with whom he shares a mutual respect, would be a natural and expected candidate for the position. Deschamps acknowledges the possibility but remains uncertain about whether Zidane would be interested in taking on the job.
This endorsement adds more fuel to the ongoing speculation about Zidane’s future, especially since he’s been selective in choosing his next managerial role since leaving Real Madrid. Many believe that the prospect of leading his national team could be a highly attractive opportunity for the French football legend.
