Zinedine Zidane's future in management is under the spotlight as it has been reported that he is on the verge of becoming the next manager of the France national football team following the upcoming World Cup. This news comes amid persistent rumors of Zidane potentially taking over Manchester United, a speculation fueled by his recent training visit to the club. However, it seems that Zidane has made his intentions clear that he is focusing on the French national team role rather than pursuing a managerial position at United.

Historically, Zidane’s ties with Manchester United have created significant buzz within the football community, especially as he has been out of management since his departure from Real Madrid. This background has led to widespread belief that he is keenly interested in a role at Manchester United. Nevertheless, the new development regarding a verbal agreement with the French Football Federation suggests that Zidane’s ambitions may lie elsewhere, specifically with leading the national team after Didier Deschamps' tenure.

Deschamps, who has successfully led France since 2012, is expected to step down following the World Cup in 2023. Zidane's return to management with France could not only reinvigorate the national team but also reshape his legacy in international football, contrasting his previous success at club level with Madrid. As the football world awaits the World Cup's outcome, all eyes now shift onto Zidane's role and the potential impact on both French and international football landscapes.
