Three wins and one draw: that is Zinédine Zidane's record from his first four matches on the France national team bench as coach. Results that have already seen him make history with Les Bleus.

The least that can be said is that Zinédine Zidane has made a particularly strong start on the France national team bench. In his first four matches in charge of Les Bleus, the coach recorded three wins and one draw. A start that allows him to equal the best opening record achieved by a French coach since the beginning of the century.

Indeed, Zidane has joined Jacques Santini, who had also recorded three wins and one draw in his first four matches with Les Bleus in 2002. This statistic highlights the positive start to the tenure of the 1998 world champion, even though the new coach will now have to maintain this momentum during the upcoming international breaks.
