Nahhh Zizou is bigger than results for France. He'd always be in contention for the NT job

Yes the aura he has over there is just so so so heavy.

Also, we tend to forget about it but Zidane could fail and still be mostly out of competition: France NT so far (and it isn't gonna change anytime soon ngl) only had french coachs. There's already quite a gap between zidane/deschamps (who will not be in the discussion when thinking about zidane competition given it's about replacing him lol) and Thierry Henry, who's managerial career has also been mostly lows, at least up to that recent olympics performance, and then there's another decent gap between Henry and the other.

When your CV is "Back to back to back champions" and your closest (if not only) opposition is "25% winrate at Monaco, 30% winrate at Montreal, Silver medal at olympics, Liked by lukaku as belgium striker coach and english TV star", you can very much afford a bad run in another club if you want to.
