FFF must solve a major problem before Zidane

The end of the French dream

The defeat against Spain (0-2) marks the end of the French dream of winning a third consecutive World Cup final. The Blues were beaten by a superior Spanish team in terms of play and efficiency in key moments. Long plagued by the technical mastery of the opponent, France quickly suffered before conceding the opening goal on a penalty by Mikel Oyarzabal.

The succession of Deschamps

The succession of Didier Deschamps seems clear, but the FFF must still resolve a major issue before being able to launch the new era. The French Football Federation has been working on this hypothesis for a long time and the discussions with Zinedine Zidane's entourage do not date back to yesterday. Zidane's name returns with a near-natural evidence to take the reins of the Blues and embody the new cycle of the French team.

Zidane's contract

Behind the strong image of a Zidane at the head of the Blues, there is an important problem that the FFF must quickly resolve. The sporting succession appears almost acquired, but the conditions of the future contract could represent a real headache for the French football federation. The legal context has evolved in recent weeks with the arrival of a new regulation concerning the remuneration of directors and employees of sports federations.

The next step

The FFF must find a balance between its ambitions and the new constraints imposed by the law. The succession of Deschamps and the nomination of Zidane are now on the agenda. The FFF must quickly resolve this problem to launch the new era of the French team with Zidane. The next step will be the nomination of Zidane as the coach of the Blues.

The last victory of the Blues was obtained on 09/07/2026 against Morocco (2-0). The Blues are in form with 5 consecutive victories. Their next match will be against Turkey on 25/09/2026.
