The current coach of the French national team, Didier Deschamps, and his agents are exploring various coaching opportunities in the Saudi league. Deschamps understands that his impressive track record with France could open doors for him to join prestigious Saudi clubs.

This came after the Frenchman Zinedine Zidane, former coach of Real Madrid, expressed his desire to return to coaching through the French national team. However, he will have to wait until the end of the 2026 World Cup to become the new coach of Les Bleus, taking over from Didier Deschamps once the tournament concludes.

Deschamps is striving hard to move to Saudi Arabia, as his performance in the upcoming World Cup will not carry the same significance as his previous achievements, having won the World Cup in Russia and finished as runner-up in Qatar.

Zidane is generating great excitement in France, as his arrival on the bench is only a matter of time—the time remaining before the end of the 2026 World Cup—after the former Real Madrid star rejected all the offers he received.
