Zinedine Zidane: I want to work full time with the French national team

“I want to continue coaching. Of course, I want to lead the French national team. I hope one day I will be its coach. When? That’s not up to me. But I want to work a full cycle with the French national team. I’ve played for the French national team and it’s the best thing that has ever happened to me!

It has to happen. I don’t know if this time or not (after the 2022 World Cup). When I say I want to lead the French national team, I assume it. Right now, there is a team with its own goals in front of it. But if the opportunity arises, I will be ready.

And then – why not be in a project where I was the leader? For example, to become club president or manager,” said the former Real Madrid coach.

Zinedine Zidane: "Winning the #UCL is never luck. It's hard work. Especially 3 times in a row. I worked like crazy. Even at home, my brain stayed at the stadium, thinking about training the next day."
