Zlatan Ibrahimovic has shared his perspective on how Zinedine Zidane should handle the French national team once he takes over as head coach. Speaking to Fox Sports before the World Cup third-place match between France and England, the former Swedish forward discussed the anticipated transition of power from Didier Deschamps to Zidane.
Reflecting on Zidane’s successful tenure at Real Madrid, where he secured three Champions League titles, Ibrahimovic noted that the transition is widely expected. He suggested that Zidane will inherit a strong foundation built by Deschamps, noting that the squad already possesses immense talent.
However, Ibrahimovic emphasized that Zidane must implement his own leadership style. He specifically highlighted that the current French roster requires the guidance of a manager rather than just a coach, given their level of experience and professional stature.
