French team: Didier Deschamps-Zinédine Zidane, the breakup is confirmed!

Zinédine Zidane has officially taken charge of the France national team, leading his first training session with a 23-man squad at Clairefontaine. French Football Federation president Philippe Diallo stated that Zidane is actively breaking away from the methods of predecessor Didier Deschamps, who managed France from 2012 to 2026.

Diallo noted significant changes in Zidane's approach, including selecting 23 players instead of 26 and announcing the roster on a Friday rather than a Thursday. Zidane, who was appointed on July 28 and is signed through 2030, is tasked with extending France's successful era and competing for major titles.
