Speaking at the Festival del Sport, Zidane confirmed that his passion for management remains alive.

• “For sure, I’m returning to work as head coach — it’s my plan. My desire is to become France head coach one day… let’s see,” Zidane said.

Currently, Les Bleus are managed by Didier Deschamps, who has been in charge since 2012. However, there are ongoing speculations that Deschamps may step down after the 2026 FIFA World Cup, potentially paving the way for Zidane’s long-anticipated appointment.
