Raphael Varane maintains that he still would have retired from France had Zinedine Zidane taken charge of Les Blues.
The Manchester United star called time on his international career recently at the age of 29. Varane had been a mainstay for several years, helping his country win the World Cup in Russia back in 2018. The centre-half spent his entire international career playing under Didier Deschamps.
Having just led France to another World Cup final, this time losing out to Argentina on penalties, Deschamps has opted to remain as boss despite many expecting Zidane to have a crack at international management. The Ballon d'Or winner has coached Varane at Madrid, but the player insists he wouldn't have changed his mind regardless of who was in charge.
