Zidane Set to Coach France with New Contract
The appointment of Zinedine Zidane as the head coach of the French national team on a long-term contract marks the beginning of a new era for the national team, succeeding Didier Deschamps, who led the team since 2012 and achieved numerous accomplishments, including winning the 2018 World Cup. Zidane signed his contract following a verbal agreement since November of last year, but the official announcement has been delayed due to the French Football Federation's need for a special government approval to exempt him from the statutory government salary cap of 450,000 euros annually. Zidane's expected salary, which could reach up to 300,000 euros per month, is among the key points requiring official exemption. His appointment comes amidst an impressive coaching record with Real Madrid, where he won three consecutive Champions League titles between 2016 and 2018. The French Football Federation hopes that Zidane will bring the national team back to the podium of success.
