The French national team recently beat Iraq 3-0 on June 22, 2026. However, Zinedine Zidane's potential arrival as coach of the France national team may be compromised by the French football reform.
What's happening?
The French football reform plans to cap the salary of federation leaders at 12,000 euros per month. This could prevent Zinedine Zidane's arrival, as he may demand a higher salary.
Why is this important for France?
Zinedine Zidane's potential arrival as coach of the France national team could be a boost for the team, which is looking to strengthen itself for the 2026 World Cup. However, the French football reform may put an end to these hopes.
What's next?
The sports governance law is not yet final. The amendment on the salary of federation leaders will still be debated at the joint committee on July 8.
