Zidane to be officially presented as new France coach on Tuesday

Zinedine Zidane is poised to officially take the helm of the French national football team, with the French Football Federation announcing his presentation for Tuesday, July 28, at 12:00 PM. This marks a significant new chapter for the legendary midfielder, who has already etched his name in coaching history.

Zidane's coaching career has been synonymous with success at Real Madrid, where he achieved an unprecedented feat by winning the Champions League three consecutive times in 2016, 2017, and 2018. His entire coaching tenure at the club level has been with the Spanish giants, leading them through two distinct periods from 2016 to 2018 and again from 2019 to 2021.

Now, the 54-year-old manager prepares for what many consider the most significant challenge of his career: guiding his home country. This role is seen by many as a natural progression for a figure who has achieved so much in the sport, both as a player and a coach.

The move to manage the French national team represents a new frontier for Zidane, who has previously only managed at the club level. His experience and proven track record in high-pressure situations are expected to bring a new dynamic to the French squad as they aim for future international success.
