Eager to sit on the bench of the France team, Zinedine Zidane should see his dream come true, according to Rolland Courbis.
More than three years after his sudden departure from Real Madrid, Zinedine Zidane is still without a club. However, there is no shortage of offers for the former playmaker. Chelsea, Manchester United, PSG, Brazil, the United States or even recently Saudi Arabia… All have tried in recent years to seduce the Marseillais . In vain.
“He refused things that did not suit him, Christophe Dugarry recently confided about his friend. Does he have the right? Because he’s an icon, he doesn’t have the right to refuse? But he does what he wants, when he wants. » And for the former Barcelona player, Zinedine Zidane has a specific idea in mind: to succeed Didier Deschamps on the bench of the France team. “ He has already offered his services to the French team, saying that he wanted it and that he was waiting for it, it’s no longer a secret.”
There is no better than Zinedine Zidane
Zinedine Zidane will have to be patient since Didier Deschamps, despite a disappointing last Euro and numerous criticisms, seems determined to go until the 2026 World Cup, which should mark the end of his adventure at the head of the Blues . The former Madrilenian will also have to deal with competition from Thierry Henry, who scored points with the FFF by leading the Bleuets to the final of the Games.
However, Rolland Courbis is convinced: Zinedine Zidane will be the next coach of the France team. “From the moment Didier will be changed in quotes, it’s difficult to find better than Zinedine Zidane known as Zizou”,
he said on Télé Matin, before saying all the good things he thought of his former player: “Yes, I came up with this nickname, but without doing it on purpose. It’s quite funny because it stuck with him. When you’re a coach and you’re passionate about football like I am, it’s a bit of a gift from heaven to have the opportunity to coach a footballer like Zizou, but also a guy like Zizou. I also have the pleasure of knowing his family, and they are also an exemplary family, with modesty…”
