Zinedine Zidane saw an obvious route back into coaching blocked off when France elected to stick with Didier Deschamps, raising the question of where the former Real Madrid boss could end up.
News came through on Saturday of a new deal for Deschamps that keeps him with France through to the 2026 World Cup.
Had Deschamps been unable to agree terms with the French Football Federation, or elected to walk away after his team’s World Cup final penalty shoot-out defeat to Argentina, it seemed Zidane would have been the obvious choice as his successor.
Now, however, he must wait for the chance to coach his country, if it ever arrives, but Zidane should not give up hope of working at the top level in international football.
