Zidane's France Future Sparks Interest as Deschamps Remains Tight-Lipped

Rumors have been circulating about Zinedine Zidane's potential involvement with the French national team, with some sources suggesting he has already reached a verbal agreement to take the reins.

Current France manager, Didier Deschamps, has chosen not to comment on these rumors, instead focusing on the present and upcoming games.

Over the years, Zidane has been linked to the position, and it appears that he may finally be taking over from Deschamps after the 2026 World Cup.

The president of the French Football Federation, Philippe Diallo, hinted that an announcement regarding the new manager could be made soon, further fueling speculation about Zidane's involvement.

When questioned about Diallo's comments, Deschamps remained coy, stating that he doesn't want to waste time discussing the matter.

Deschamps emphasized his commitment to the current season and the upcoming World Cup, stating that he prefers not to dwell on speculation about his successor.

Since leaving Real Madrid in 2021, Zidane has been out of work, but he has been linked to several high-profile positions, including the Manchester United job.

However, it's believed that Zidane is hesitant to work in the UK due to his limited proficiency in English.

Despite being out of the game for a while, Zidane has expressed his desire to return to management, and it's rumored that he's being considered as Deschamps' replacement.

Deschamps has been at the helm of the French national team since 2012 and led the team to World Cup victory in 2018, but he's set to step down after the 2026 World Cup.

The French Football Federation is reportedly looking for a candidate who can unite the team and the country, and Zidane is believed to be the top contender for the position.

According to Diallo, only a handful of people have applied for the job, and Zidane is thought to be the favorite to succeed Deschamps.

One of Zidane's former teammates, Nicolas Anelka, has publicly endorsed him for the position, stating that he believes Zidane would be an excellent choice.

The news of Zidane's potential appointment has had a ripple effect, with Michael Carrick's chances of becoming the permanent manager of Manchester United now looking more promising.

Anelka has expressed his confidence in Zidane's abilities, citing his successful tenure at Real Madrid as evidence of his coaching prowess.

While some Manchester United fans may be disappointed that Zidane is not taking the helm at Old Trafford, Carrick's impressive performance as interim manager has eased the pressure to bring in a new coach.

Carrick has had a successful run, winning seven of his first 10 matches and solidifying United's position in the top four, making him a strong contender for the permanent position.
