Zinedine Zidane has been named as the new head coach of France.

The World Cup-winning former France midfielder succeeds Didier Deschamps, who stepped down this month after 14 years in charge.

Zidane, whose appointment was confirmed by the France Football Federation on Tuesday, previously guided Real Madrid to three Champions League trophies.
