This France job is going to be the biggest test of whether Zinedine Zidane is truly an elite manager or whether his Real Madrid success was heavily helped by the extraordinary squad he had at his disposal.
He had Kroos, Casemiro, Modrić, Ronaldo, Benzema, Bale, Ramos, Pepe, Marcelo, Carvajal and a squad stacked with world-class players in almost every position.
That doesn't take away from what Zidane achieved at Madrid, but it does raise a fair question:
How much of his success was down to Zidane, and how much was down to the quality of the team?
France also have a ridiculously talented squad, but managing a national team is a completely different challenge.
You don't have months of daily training and dozens of matches to build chemistry, tactical automatisms and a clear identity.
You get the players during international breaks, have limited time together, then you're expected to perform at major tournaments.
That's why this France job could tell us a lot about Zidane as a coach.
He's spent years avoiding club jobs across Europe, so now he finally has another major challenge in front of him.
Let's see what he can actually build.
Because France are playing like a team that isn't being coached right now.
This is Zidane's time to prove himself.
