Karim Benzema has voiced his excitement regarding the possibility of Zinedine Zidane becoming the next manager for the French national team. Speaking to the outlet Konbini, the former Real Madrid striker described the 54-year-old as one of the sport’s greatest figures.
While Benzema noted he cannot confirm if the appointment will actually happen, he highlighted their deep personal bond, referring to Zidane as both a legend and a close mentor. Zidane remains a top contender to succeed Didier Deschamps, who recently concluded an influential 14-year run that included a 2018 World Cup victory and a strong overall record of 122 wins.
Zidane earned his reputation as an elite coach by winning three Champions League titles and two LaLiga trophies during his time at Real Madrid. Supporters of the potential move believe his leadership could bring a new era of success to Les Bleus.
