Former Real Madrid manager Zinedine Zidane has revealed his dream coaching job is to coach the French national team.
The former French international of Algerian descent is currently unattached after leaving Los Blancos at the end of the 2020/21 season when he won LALIGA in his second stint.
Zidane has been linked with a few clubs in the last few years, including Manchester United, Juventus, Paris Saint-Germain and Olympique Marseille.
However, the 1998 World Cup winner has revealed coaching the French national team would be a dream job.
“There’s a coach in charge [of France, there’s a team, and you have to respect everything, and that’s what we do. I’ve always respected football and the people, so it’s not the right time,” Zidane said, as per Marca.
“But when the time comes, it will be a great pleasure if the opportunity arises. I’ve put my career on hold for a while, but I fully feel like a coach.”
“It’s a dream, I’m looking forward to it.”
Current France coach Didier Deschamps has already confirmed he will be stepping down after the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
