Zinedine Zidane takes charge of France national team

Known former footballer and now coach Zinedine Zidane has taken charge of the France national team. The parties have already signed a long-term contract.

Journalist Fabrizio Romano reports this on his social media.

According to the source, a verbal agreement was reached back in November, and now the parties have formalized it legally. Since the fall, some football clubs have shown interest in Zidane, but he remained committed to his choice to head the France national team.
