His arrival follows the expectations that surrounded Tuesday's presentation. Zidane emphasized that working with the French national team was a priority for him, and according to available information, he turned down several club offers. The new coach thus opens another chapter after a successful period at club level, where he achieved his most notable coaching successes with Real Madrid. teraz.sk ↗
Among the first topics of his tenure are building on Deschamps' legacy, player selection, and adjusting the style of play.

Further developments will be shown in the first matches under his leadership, which will reveal how quickly he can translate his vision into the national team.
