French sports daily L’Equipe reports that Zinédine Zidane will replace Didier Deschamps as head coach of the France national football team, beginning on 1 September. Multiple outlets describe Zidane as a 1998 World Cup winner and a prominent figure in international football. The reporting indicates that the appointment is set for a clear start date, with Zidane taking over responsibilities from Deschamps on September 1. The sources focus on the transition between the two managers and the timing of Zidane’s official start, rather than providing detailed information about interim arrangements, contract terms, or immediate squad changes. Zidane is widely recognized for his managerial career, including his previous role at Real Madrid, and the reports frame the move as a notable change for the France coaching position. Both articles present the information as coming from L’Equipe, pointing to consistent confirmation in French media.
