Zinedine Zidane, the former French international player and one-time manager of Real Madrid, intends to bring David Betton and Hamou Maassai into his staff for the national team, as reported by L’Équipe.
According to the information from the source, these professionals have previously collaborated with the 53-year-old Frenchman during his tenure as the head coach in Madrid.
It was previously disclosed that Zinedine Zidane had reached a verbal agreement with the French Football Federation (FFF) regarding his appointment as the head coach of the national side.
Didier Deschamps has been leading the French national squad since 2012, guiding the team to victory in the 2018 World Cup and the 2021 UEFA Nations League.
Recently, the French specialist indicated his plan to step down from his role following the 2026 World Cup. The Mundial is scheduled to take place from June 11th to July 19th, hosted by Canada, the USA, and Mexico. In that tournament, the French team will compete in a group alongside Senegal, Norway, and one more nation yet to be determined.
While managing Real Madrid, Zinedine Zidane secured the Spanish championship twice, claimed the national Super Cup on two occasions, and triumphed in the UEFA Champions League three times.
