Ex-Arsenal boss Wenger backing Real Madrid coach Zidane for France job

Former Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger says Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane should next take charge of France.

Wenger, himself, has been mentioned as a successor for Les Bleus coach Didier Deschamps.

But the Frenchman insists: “If I see Zidane Zidane in the national team? Yes, and he's said once before that he'd like to do it, so it's not hard for me to imagine him.

"I hope he will continue to succeed because what he has done for football is magnificent."
