Zidane will take charge of Les Bleus immediately after the 2026 World Cup.
Deschamps announced last season that he would be leaving the France post after next summer's tournament. However, his replacement had not been settled.
It's reported on July 12, at the 'Z5' centre in Aix-en-Provence, where the 27th anniversary of the '98 World Cup was celebrated, in the company of France legends like Laurent Blanc, Vincent Candela and Michel Platini, Zizou also let slip a series of jokes regarding his future as France coach.
