The upcoming head coach of the French national team Zinedine Zidane plans to ask the legendary goalkeeper Fabien Barthez to his staff. L'Equipe informs about this.

According to Gerel, Zidan would like to entrust the great goalkeeper of Manchester United and the French national team with the position of goalkeeper coach. However, in addition to the implementation of this idea, Barthez does not have the necessary coaching license.

It appears that the French Football Federation and Zidane himself insist that all members of the coaching staff have the same qualifications. This is the principled position of a future mentor, who will help form a professional team of like-minded people.

In the meantime, Zidan is exploring the possibility of organizing the necessary courses for Barthez so that he can lose his license and officially join the coaching staff of the French national team..

It was previously reported that Zidan is actively forming his team ahead of the national team and plans to renew the coaching staff, relying on people he trusts.
