Although the French national team looked like it was the top team in this year’s World Cup, which is being played in the United States, Mexico, and Canada, it failed to get past Spain and was eliminated from the tournament with a 2-0 loss.

After 14 full years, Didier Deschamps is expected to step down as head coach of his country’s national team, and all signs point to Zinedine Zidanetan.

The Real Madrid legend has been away from active play for years, waiting for the right opportunity to return, having set his sights clearly on the “Tricolores’” bench.

With Deschamps now stepping aside, the path is wide open for Zidane, who is expected to sign a contract through 2030.
