Zinedine Zidane is confirmed as the new French national team coach! But who will have a bigger impact: Jurgen Klopp at Germany or Zidane at France and why?

Klopp, because he'll change the culture and not just the tactics

ahambly232mo ago

Definitely Klopp for impact - but what is it with all these top managers taking national team roles??

This is either a master stroke, or will blow up quickly. Having said that, Zidane coped well at Madrid when many others failed. Maybe this will have prepared him for the political challenges that will come his way as a result of taking on this job. I’d be a liar, however, to want him to be successful at England’s expense.

Germany’s squad is miles off it… tough gig for Klopp tbh

markmarston2mo ago

Gary Megson could be the France boss and he’d have a good chance of winning something… that squad is ridiculously good

At least we have Tuchel to guide us to another semi-final defeat, though, eyyy

I think Zidane will outdo Klopp. He seems to have this aura when working with big names and egos as we saw at Real Madrid. I think he’ll take Mbappe to another level in particular

leeclarke05082mo ago

Having seen them against Spain I presume he's going to be player manager...

josh.barker2mo ago

Such an upgrade, he knows how to deal with big egos

callum_boyle2mo ago

Zidane will have more success than Klopp. The former has a read-made squad whereas the latter has a massive rebuild job - which takes more than two years to do

kyle.dimond2mo ago

Zidane is such an obvious fit that he’ll probably have a bigger impact but that’s because how big a job Klopp faces to make any significant improvements. Much more excited to watch that side than I am Zidane’s France which I kind of expect to be more of the same, just perhaps slightly better

Zidane I think - international football is often won by pragmatic football rather than detailed tactical plans. I think there’s actually a lot in common between this France job and the one Zidane inherited when he took over Real

Klopp will win Euro 2028

jonny2mo ago

Germany just aren’t that good and I can’t see Klopp getting his system implemented with such little training time. Zidane will win it all with that generational France side.

seanfisher2mo ago

Do Germany even have a team capable of playing “Klopp-ball”? I can see it not going well 👀

seanfisher2mo ago

If France weren’t already clear 2028 Euro favourites, they are now. Such a scary team to face. Zidane does extremely well making a team out of world-class individuals

dakir.thanveer2mo ago

Can we talk about what's going on at Italy though? 🫣🤣

vatsal2mo ago

Zidane all the way. That France is begging for someone to empower them in the way Zidane did Real Madrid. I'm not even convinced Klopp’s management style will translate to international football. He is built on communication and spirit which doesn't happen when you meet thrice a year

george.patten2mo ago

Impact - You’d have to say Klopp as France are already a top side. But Zidane is certainly the right choice to replace Deschamps. Both teams are going to be scary at the Euros

kyle.archer2mo ago

Klopp can have a bigger impact as he’s adopting a Germany squad that has underperformed

jackgallagher2mo ago

Zidane because no one is getting a tune out of the hopeless Germany squad 😂

amirmir2mo ago

Zidane is going to cook! Jurgen has a bigger task on his hands, given that a rebuild is needed. France have the car to win the race, they might have now just found the driver!

France could be a serious powerhouse with an elite manager and group of players… The 2028 Euros will be going back to Paris…
