Didier Deschamps is surely an icon of French football, and much more. He won everything as a player for both club and country, and won the World Cup as France's manager in 2018. He spoke on a possible successor to the French bench when speaking with Le Monde.
"It will be Zidane. I am sure that sooner or later it will be him on the bench of the French national team." It seems like it could be destiny, but for now, Deschamps has a contract with the federation that runs until 2022.
