TONI KROOS claims Zinedine Zidane is the “best possible successor”; to France boss Didier Deschamps.
And the German midfielder reckons his former Real Madrid manager has a “70-30 chance”; of taking over the beaten World Cup finalists.
Deschamps admits he is uncertain if he’ll stay after narrowly failing to land the ultimate trophy twice in a row.
But Kroos believes French legend Zidane is eager to return to management, having regularly been linked with his national job.
Diario AS report the 32-year-old as saying: “I definitely think Zizou would not only be a good successor but the best possible successor
“The big question is: what does Didier Deschamps want?
“I’d say there’s a 70/30 chance for Zizou to become France’s new coach.
“I think he really wants to get back onto the training field.”;
Deschamps is thinking over his future after Argentina won Sunday’s final in Qatar 4-2 on penalties following a 3-3 draw.
The 54-year-old, who took the job in 2012, said immediately afterwards: “Even if we had won, I wouldn’t have been able to answer that question.
