French football’s governing body, the Fédération Française de Football (FFF), says it will hold a media event next Tuesday to name the new head coach of the men’s France national team. The announcement comes after Didier Deschamps leaves the role. Multiple reports state that Zinedine Zidane is the widely expected successor. The FFF has reportedly scheduled the news conference at its Paris headquarters and said its president, Philippe Diallo, will present the appointment. Several outlets reference the specific timing as Tuesday, July 28. Sources also note Zidane is 54 and that he has not coached since departing Real Madrid in 2021. While the coverage consistently points to Zidane as the likely choice, the FFF’s statement focuses on the upcoming unveiling rather than detailing the decision in the excerpts provided. The confirmation of the appointment is expected to occur during the scheduled press conference.
