The head coach of the France national football team, Didier Deschamps, has publicly endorsed Zinedine Zidane as a strong candidate to succeed him in the role.
This endorsement comes in Deschamps’ first interview following his announcement that he plans to step down after the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
Deschamps, who has led Les Bleus to considerable success, including winning the 2018 World Cup, stated that he would officially leave his position in January 2026.
