Former Real Madrid forward, Karim Benzema, has expressed his joy at the prospect of Zinedine Zidane being named the new manager of France.
He further stated that the ex-Real Madrid coach is among the greatest in the history of football.

Karim Benzema remarked (as reported by Madrid Zone on X), “Am I pleased that Zidane is the new coach of France? I cannot say for certain if it will be him, but if it is, YES, I AM TRULY HAPPY. He is a legend, he is like a big brother to me.”
