It's not new, but it gets better by (re) saying it.

As the election to the presidency of the FFF looms on March 13, Noël Le Graët, who is seeking a new mandate, reaffirms that with him, France would have every chance of seeing Zinédine Zidane succeed Didier Deschamps at the head of the Blues when the time is right.

"We have very good relations with Zidane," he assured in an interview with RTL which will be broadcast on Saturday evening.

Personally, at least.

If Didier stopped, if I was still there, the first person I would see is Zidane.

DD's favorite himself

So, Zizou on the bench of the France team after the 2022 World Cup?

It is possible, even if it depends above all on Deschamps.

The coach will have priority if he wishes to extend the adventure further.

"His extension?

The answer almost belongs to Didier, NLG added.

Whatever happens, it won't be someone who is on the sidelines.

Oh, we weren't too worried about that.

In any case, DD himself has already said that his former teammate at Juve and the Blues had his favors to succeed him.

“The next coach could be Zizou, he confided in an interview with 

Le Monde

in 2019. At one point or another, it will be him.
