When asked what he future holds, Zidane was keen to point out that he was happy to just earn a rest.

Speaking at an adidas event, he said: “I have my feet up and I am feeling good. I do not know what I am going to do.

“The most important thing is the decision I have taken. For the rest, we will see — I do not know [how long he will be away from football].”

Deschamps believes it is “inevitable” that Zidane will replace him in the future.
