Zinedine Zidane has been appointed as the new coach of the French national football team, marking his return to management after a hiatus since 2021. The French Football Federation announced the appointment.
The position represents Zidane’s first coaching role since leaving Real Madrid in 2021, where he secured three consecutive Champions League titles. No reason for the timing of this appointment was given by the French Football Federation. This move follows a period of speculation regarding the future leadership of the national team after the previous coach's departure.
This appointment comes as Zidane returns to lead his home country’s football program, having previously captained France to victory in the 1998 FIFA World Cup and Euro 2000. He has a distinguished history with the French national team as both a player and now coach.
Both ESPN and ESPN Australia reported on Zidane's appointment, indicating broad international interest in this development within the world of football. No right-leaning outlets were observed to have covered this story.
