After his success with Real Madrid and 3 consecutive Champions League titles, Zidane unexpectedly said goodbye to Los Blancos. A series of rumors about ZiZou's future have been spread. Among them, the information that the French coach will be the captain of the national team has received a lot of approval.
The current coach of Les Bleus participating in the 2018 World Cup is Didier Deschamps. The 49-year-old strategist is being fully supported by the French Football Federation (FFF). Even the bold decision to remove the stars, FFF also gives Deschamps full authority to decide.
Faced with the news that Zidane will replace Deschamps after the World Cup, the FFF was forced to post a report to dispel rumors that could negatively affect the psychology of the underdog team when competing in Russia. According to FFF, Deschamps' future depends on him and the contract between the two sides.
"Didier Deschamp has a contract until 2020. And of course, he will stay until that time," FFF President Noel Le Graet shared.
Along with that, Noel Le Graet affirmed that FFF had never met or discussed with Zidane about the position of Head Coach of the National Assembly. This is an official action from the head of the French Football Federation to stabilize the national team situation as the World Cup is approaching.
In the past, Zidane and Deschamps were teammates at the 1998 World Cup, when France won the world championship for the first time at home.
France is in Group C of the 2018 World Cup. They will have their opening match against Australia (16.), followed by Peru (21.6) and Denmark (26.6).
