A renowned journalist updated his YouTube program column, covering the latest situations of multiple teams. Among them, he also provided updates and reports on former Real Madrid manager Zinedine Zidane.
Here is the content:
“Everyone, I want to add an extra piece of information about Zidane. Zidane has reached a verbal agreement with the French Football Federation, under which he will officially take over as the head coach of the French national team after the 2026 World Cup. Once Didier Deschamps completes his tenure with France, Zidane will take the reins of the national side. However, the two parties have not yet signed a formal contract, so as things stand now, anything is possible. In the world of football, we can never predict what will happen in advance.”
For this reason, we have to keep an open mind about all relevant developments. To be clear, the verbal agreement Zidane reached was finalized with the French Football Federation. Based on the information available so far, Zidane has not held any negotiations with English clubs. You have asked me about updates regarding teams like Manchester City, Chelsea and Real Madrid. Admittedly, Zidane was previously spotted at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium watching the Champions League match between Real Madrid and Manchester City.
Despite persistent rumors circulating about his potential appointment at other English clubs, Zidane’s focus for his future is actually on the French national team. He has great respect for Deschamps—after all, a major tournament like the World Cup is coming up. France is one of the favorites to win the trophy, so Zidane will definitely respect this reality."
