3. Zidane Ban Question

The discussion centers on whether Zinedine Zidane would have to serve any touchline suspension if he takes charge of France after being sent off in his final international appearance in the 2006 World Cup final. This is a self-post question rather than a reported news item, so the premise is speculative and the answer depends on how people understand FIFA discipline carrying over from player to coach.
