Zidane: It is my dream to coach the French national team. I hope I can get the opportunity when the time is right

May 28 Zidane made it clear that coaching the French national team is his dream.

Zidane attended the sponsor's event this week and talked to the guests present about his coaching of the French national team. Zidane first said: "I think this is normal. I spent 12 years, 13 years, or 14 years of player career with the French national team. Of course, this is a dream, and I can't wait."

Zidane continued: "The current French national team has a coach and a team, and we have to respect all this, and that's what we are doing. I have always respected football and people, so now is not the right time. But when the time is right, if you get the opportunity (to coach the national team), it will be a very happy thing." The current French national team coach Deschamps has announced that he will leave after the 2026 World Cup.

Zidane has been idle since leaving the Real Madrid position. He finally said: "I have temporarily put my career on hold, but I still feel like being a coach."
