The value of Zidane's contract has been announced

France's new head coach Zinedine Zidane has signed a deal running to the end of the 2030 World Cup, and French reports say its bonus structure could make him the highest-paid manager in the team's history.

Salary details reported in France

RMC Sport says Zidane will earn a fixed annual salary of €3.6 million from the French Football Federation. The contract also includes performance-related bonuses linked to France's results in future tournaments.

If those targets are met, his annual income could rise to €5.4 million. That would move him above Didier Deschamps, the former France coach, if the figures are confirmed and finalised.

Long-term agreement for the national team

Zidane took charge after years of speculation over the role. At his unveiling, there was emphasis that money was not central to the talks, but the reported contract figures have now been made public by French media.

The bonus clauses are tied to France's performances in competitions ahead, with Zidane set to receive additional payments if the team reaches the agreed objectives.
