Zinedine Zidane is expected to be officially appointed as the head coach of the French national team on Tuesday. The 54-year-old coach will sign a four-year contract, until the 2030 World Cup. He will bring an end to the Didier Deschamps era, who has been in charge of Les Bleus since 2012. Rodri is on Real Madrid’s radar. The Spanish midfielder, recently named the best player of the World Cup, could join the Madrid club this summer. The Manchester City player has only one year remaining on his contract. On the Tour de France, Jasper Philipsen has finally raised his arms in victory. The 28-year-old won the stage 17 after several setbacks. There was no change in the general classification.
