How much does Zinédine Zidane earn with the France team?
The salary of the new head coach of the France team, Zinédine Zidane, is now known. The French press has revealed the amount of his monthly remuneration, as well as the details of the bonuses provided for in his contract.
According to Foot Mercato, citing L’Équipe, Zinédine Zidane earns €300,000 gross per month, an amount close to what Didier Deschamps received when he was in charge of Les Bleus.
However, the French coach’s contract is not limited to this fixed remuneration. In particular, his bonus system differs from that of his predecessor.
Zidane chose to waive the image rights bonuses that Didier Deschamps received after international matches.
This choice is explained in particular by Zidane’s advertising commitments with several brands, including Adidas, and allows him to avoid certain constraints linked to the commercial partners of the France team.
Zidane makes a strong start with Les Bleus
On the sporting front, Zinédine Zidane has made a perfect start to his tenure at the helm of Les Bleus. In his first two Nations League matches, the French coach led his team to two victories.
After a 1-0 win against Turkey, France prevailed by the same score against Belgium, thanks to a goal from Michael Olise.
Les Bleus will now face Italy next Friday in their next Nations League match.
