France’s Football Federation (FFF) announces that it will hold a news conference on Tuesday, July 28, to name the next head coach of the men’s national team. The FFF says the presentation will take place at its headquarters in Paris, with the federation’s president, Philippe Diallo, set to name the coach at the event. After Didier Deschamps ends his tenure as France manager, Zinédine Zidane is widely expected to be appointed as his successor. Multiple reports describe the announcement as effectively confirmed by long-standing expectations, even though the FFF statement does not name Zidane in advance. Zidane, 54, has not coached since leaving Real Madrid in 2021. One outlet also reports that more than 120 journalists and photographers are expected to attend the presentation, indicating the FFF intends to give the appointment a formal public unveiling. Across the coverage, the key point is that the FFF will publicly introduce the new France coach at the Tuesday press conference, with Zidane positioned as the leading candidate to replace Deschamps.
