France national team: Zinédine Zidane has signed

Now, all that's left is the official announcement. Zinédine Zidane has indeed signed on as head coach of Les Bleus.

Zinédine Zidane is truly the new head coach of the French national team. Journalist Fabrizio Romano reported on Tuesday that the 54-year-old tactician has put pen to paper, something that had not yet happened last week.

✨🇫🇷 Zinedine Zidane has already signed his long term contract as new France head coach.

Verbal agreement in place since November, never been in doubt or at risk despite clubs calling.
