While the extension of Didier Deschamps with the France team is looming, Zinédine Zidane should wait before taking the lead, a position which nevertheless seems logically to reach out to him.

Several tracks would then be possible like Brazil according to the journalists of "Europe 1 Sport".

What future is taking shape for Zinedine Zidane?

Free of any contract since leaving Real Madrid in the summer of 2021, the former tricolor world champion is looking for a new project, the Blues being his ideal destination.

But this future on the bench of the France team is closely linked to that of Didier Deschamps.

And for good reason, Didier Deschamps has fulfilled his contract, that of reaching at least the semi-finals of the World Cup in Qatar.

A result that allows him to be master of his destiny and to be able to choose his future freely at the head of the Blues.

A decision he must give in January 2023.

Towards the Seleção?

Neymar's Seleção would be looking for a new coach to replace Tite since the disappointing result at the 2022 World Cup with an elimination against Croatia in the quarter-finals.

Brazilian leaders have even made Zinedine Zidane a serious candidate to take over.

Indeed, the conditions of recruitment to occupy the bench of Brazil would be to be a free, foreign and experienced coach.

Zinedine Zidane's profile ticks all these boxes.

But he is not the only one.

Indeed, other names are mentioned: Marcelo Gallardo, Mauricio Pochettino, Thomas Tuchel, Roberto Martinez or even Rafael Benitez.

Back to a club?

Another option for the former Real Madrid coach: a club.

But it would then be an admission of failure for the former Madrid player.

Indeed, Zinédine Zidane had refused the fabulous contracts offered by Manchester United then Paris Saint-Germain last year.

The 1998 world champion had only one option in mind: the France team.

The one who won the Champions League three times in a row with the White House (2016, 2017, 2018) had resolved to wait until 2022… but was out of luck.

Didier Deschamps succeeded in his World Cup.

"Zizou" therefore seems to be awaiting the official decision of Didier Deschamps.

Response in early 2023?
