Former Real Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane is not a target for the France national team job this summer.

The 1998 FIFA World Cup winner has been consistently linked with a move to manage his old team but no formal offer has materialised.

The French FA opted to extend Didier Deschamps’ contract after their 2022 World Cup final defeat to Argentina and the former midfielder is tied to Les Bleus until 2026.

Zidane has reportedly rejected offers, as he waited for an update from France, but the situation now appears to be settled.

Ahead of a potential return to management in 2024, Zidane is still assessing his options, amid rumours of a possible move to the Premier League.
