Zidane to succeed Deschamps: FFF finalizes arrival of new Blues coach

Didier Deschamps will coach his last match on Saturday against England in the World Cup third-place play-off. The French Football Federation is finalizing Zinedine Zidane's arrival, with the contract ready but not yet signed. Official announcement is expected before July 21 to avoid a new governance law. Zidane will earn a fixed salary of €300,000 per month, up to €450,000 with bonuses, and his staff will include over 25 people with an emphasis on women.
