Karim Benzema to return to the French national team?; Report

It is said that superstar Karim Benzema may return to the French national team. According to the report, Benzema could join the team if Zinedine Zidane becomes the coach of the French team. The information was shared by Vincent, a sports journalist.

There were earlier reports that Benzema, who had a contract with the national team until 2026, announced his retirement after the World Cup after falling out with coach Didier Deschamps.

It was reported that Deschamps did not recall Benzema, who had to miss the first few games due to injury, even after he recovered from the injury and the angry player suddenly announced his retirement. In the context of this, Duluk highlighted the possibility that Benzema could join the team if Zidane became the coach.

Karim Benzema ended his international career after the Qatar World Cup. No one knows the reason behind the sudden retirement of the actor. Even for the co-stars. Adding to all this, people understand that there is enmity between coach Didier Deschamps and Benzema.

He is now 35 years old. Benzema has missed two World Cups. It was only under the leadership of Deschamps that he was able to participate in Euro 2020.

If Zidane takes over as coach of the French national team in 2024, Benzema could join the team for a third international run. Deschamps’ contract, which was up to 2024, has been extended to 2026 after the French team performed well at the Qatar World Cup.

But it was decided by a conspiracy between Noel Great and Deschamps. The French Football Federation can extend his contract to 2024 if he does not perform well in Euro 2024. With that, Zidane will return to the position of coach,” said Duluk.
