After 14 years of Deschamps, France set to announce Zidane as new head coach

French Football Federation (FFF) president Philippe Diallo will announce the new men's national team head coach on Tuesday.

Zinedine Zidane is widely expected to succeed Didier Deschamps, who stepped down after a 14-year tenure following the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

Deschamps led France to the 2018 FIFA World Cup title, the 2022 World Cup final, the UEFA Euro 2016 final, and the 2021 UEFA Nations League crown.

Zidane returns to management for the first time since leaving Real Madrid in 2021, where he won three consecutive UEFA Champions League titles.

The new coach will prepare France for upcoming Nations League fixtures in September.
