French Football Federation (FFF) president Noel Le Graet has gone cold on Zinedine Zidane taking charge of the national team.
While in the past Le Graet has often talked up the prospect of the Real Madrid coach taking charge of Les Bleus, he now is hoping for incumbant Didier Deschamps to stay on long-term.
"Zinedine Zidane to coach one day? Didier is so much in place that I cannot answer you," he stated.
"And I hope he stays at least eight years with the federation!"
Deschamps is set to enter new contract talks with the FFF.
