France's new coach will be confirmed by the nation's football federation at a press conference on July 28.

Didier Deschamps stepped down from his role as head coach after France's World Cup campaign.

Deschamps took charge of Les Bleus in 2012, and led them to a World Cup triumph in 2018. Under his tutelage, France also reached the final of Euro 2016 and the 2022 World Cup.

They made the last four at Euro 2024 and the same stage at this summer's World Cup, in which they lost to eventual champions Spain, before going down 6-4 to England in the third-place play-off.

Zinedine Zidane is widely tipped to take over, and the French Football Federation (FFF) will reveal the new coach next week.

Zidane has not been in a coaching role since the end of his second stint in charge of Real Madrid in 2021.

The former France international counts two LaLiga titles and three Champions League triumphs among his managerial honours.

Deschamps took charge of 185 games during his tenure as France boss, a tally bettered only by former Germany coach Joachim Low (187) in international football. He oversaw 120 victories.

France's next fixtures see them take on Turkiye, Italy and Belgium (twice) in the Nations League in September and October.
