Guest yesterday afternoon on the Super Moscato Show on RMC, Luis Fernandez expressed his willingness to accompany Zinedine Zidane if the latter were to become the future coach of the French national team. At 66, the former international and former PSG coach says he is ready to join Zidane's staff, not as an assistant, but in a role of liaison with the players, highlighting his experience and his attachment to the former captain of the Blues.
A long-standing professional relationship
Luis Fernandez et Zinedine Zidane share a common history that dates back to their beginnings in Cannes Fernandez recalls that time and the role he played in Zidane's early career. When Fernandez was awarded the Legion of Honor in February 2024, Zidane traveled from Madrid, a gesture that deeply touched the former midfielder. Fernandez told him: “You started your career with me, I would like to finish it with you.”
Zidane, an assumed ambition
Since the end of his last coaching role at Real Madrid in 2021, Zinedine Zidane has consistently reaffirmed his ambition to take the reins of the French national team. In October 2025, he stated: "One of my goals is to coach the French team. We'll see." A statement that has caused a lot of talk with the announced departure of Didier Deschamps after the 2026 World Cup.
