Deschamps: Zidane, natural candidate for France, but I don't know if he wants to take over the national team

Didier Deschamps will step down as France coach after the 2026 World Cup and Zinedine Zidane is seen as the most likely candidate to take the bench.

Deschamps stated that Zidane is unpredictable, but added that he does not know if he will take over the national team.

In the interview with French media, he also revealed the reason for leaving France.

"Zidane is a very valuable, natural and unpredictable candidate. I don't know if he wants to take over the national team. I'm not tired or exhausted, but I want my time. All things come to an end at some point. The French national team is a beautiful thing for me. I spent 25 years of my professional life there, as a coach and a player," Deschamps declared.
