The French national team will soon have a new legendary coach.

According to journalist Fabrizio Romano, he will be Zinedine Zidane.

The former midfielder has agreed to all the contract details and the entire national team project.

Zinedine Zidane has long wanted to become the coach of "Les Bleus" and for that reason turned down club offers.

The current head coach Didier Deschamps will bid farewell to the French after this tournament.

France will face England in the match for third place.
