After waiting patiently for years, Zinedine Zidane has become the head coach of the French national team. The legendary midfielder turned manager had been out of coaching for five years, but he never hid his desire to lead his country. Now that he’s got the job, everyone wants to know: what will he bring to the role?
A Proven Winner at Club Level
Zidane’s coaching career started at Real Madrid, where he achieved incredible success. He won three Champions League titles in a row, something no other manager had done before. His teams played with confidence and skill, often coming back from tough situations to win.
- Three consecutive Champions League trophies (2016, 2017, 2018)
- Two La Liga titles
- Multiple other domestic and international cups
Patience and Loyalty Paid Off
Zidane stepped away from Real Madrid after his second stint in 2021. Instead of taking another club job, he decided to wait for the France position. Many thought he would coach a big European club, but he stayed patient. Now his loyalty to his home country has been rewarded.
This waiting game shows his strong connection to France and his desire to follow in the footsteps of his former mentor, Didier Deschamps.
What Fans Can Expect from Zidane’s France
