With a huge salary.. The new technical staff of the French national team, led by Zidane, includes 25 individuals

French press reports revealed that the French Football Federation has decided to appoint the legend Zinedine Zidane as coach of the French national team, succeeding his compatriot Didier Deschamps, who is preparing to leave his position immediately after the end of the 2026 World Cup, after 14 years at the head of the technical staff, crowned with the 2018 World Cup title in Russia and reaching the Qatar 2022 final.

The decision came after the “Roosters” team was eliminated from the semi-finals of the current World Cup after the “Roosters” lost to Spain 0-2.

The newspapers “L’Equipe”, “Fut Mercato” and the “RMC Sport” network confirmed that Zidane’s appointment has become a matter of time, and that the two parties have reached a final agreement on the details of the contract, with the French coach receiving a monthly salary of 300,000 euros, with incentives and bonuses that may raise his total income to 450,000 euros per month.

She added that Zidane will bring an integrated technical team that includes assistants, performance analysts and fitness experts, whose number may reach 25 individuals.

Zidane had been absent from training since 2021, when he coached Real Madrid in one of the most successful training experiences in the history of the Royal Club, and led it to a series of continental and local achievements.
