Zinedine Zidane is reportedly set to become the next head coach of the France national team, with L'Équipe saying the federation aims to confirm his appointment within days and announce it next Tuesday. The paper says Zidane is set to sign a four-year contract and that federation president Philippe Diallo has held meetings to finalise the sporting project and the new coaching staff, with sweeping backroom changes planned from August and some staff starting in September. Zidane would begin during the next international break ahead of four Nations League matches.
