Zinedine Zidane was linked with a number of top European clubs in the summer transfer window to become the manager. These included the likes of heavyweights like Manchester United, PSG, Juventus and others. However, Zidane maintained a firm stand that he is enjoying a sabbatical and will decide on his future later.
It has been understood that Zidane has been keen on taking up the job of the French National team. In June of this year, Zidane claimed that he would manage Les Bleus someday.
He told French newspaper L’Equipe: “I’m not finished with Les Bleus. I want to do it, of course. I will be [France coach], I hope, one day. When? That’s not up to me. But I want to come full circle with the French national team. “I met this French team as a player. And it’s the best thing that ever happened to me!”

“But really! It is the peak. So, since I went through that and now I am a coach, the French team is firmly anchored in my head. Succeed Deschamps? I don’t know. If it has to be done, it will be done, at that time or not.”
“When I say I want to take charge of the French national team one day, I’m assuming. Currently, a team has been created. With their goals. But if the opportunity comes later, I will be there. Again, it’s not up to me. My deepest desire is there. The French national team is the most beautiful thing there is,” Zidane concluded.
The defending champions will kick start their Qatar World Cup 2022 campaign on 22nd November against Australia. Following this clash they will set their dates with Denmark and Tunisia. Though the team would be missing some key players owing to injuries, it can be said for certain that France will go to the next level to defend their title.
