Former Real Madrid manager Zinedine Zidane is “the clear favourite” to take over the France national team.
This was revealed by football transfer expert Fabrizio Romano via his X account on Tuesday.
Romano claimed Zidane has not officially signed any contract out of respect for the current head coach, Didier Deschamps.
Zinedine Zidane remains the clear favorite to become next France head coach after the World Cup,” Romano wrote.
“Nothing signed as Zizou wants to respect Deschamps who will only leave the job at the end of July.
“Federation also fully focused on WC 2026 but Zizou favorite for next chapter.”
France, who were finalists at the last World Cup, have already booked their spot at next year’s tournament.
