Zinedine Zidane, considered the future head coach of the French national team, is already laying the foundations for his tenure. Reports suggest that the 54-year-old is planning a total reset of the team's structure, aiming to overhaul the coaching staff at every level.
Zidane intends to surround himself with his most trusted allies, drawing on his inner circle to implement a new philosophy. The plan aims for a deep-seated transformation, moving away from past approaches to establish his own vision for the squad.
Despite a hectic summer schedule involving business partnerships in the United States and appearances at World Cup matches, Zidane has remained focused on this upcoming project. His intention is to perform a comprehensive renovation of the national team's operational structure.
