The Zinedine Zidane era in charge of the French national team is about to get underway. Barring a major surprise, the former Real Madrid manager will officially be presented as the successor to Didier Deschamps, bringing an end to fourteen years of reign at the helm of Les Bleus.
Already working on the composition of his future backroom staff, Zidane is looking to establish a new dynamic around the national team, while relying on certain indispensable senior figures.
Mbappé retained in his leadership role
Among those senior figures is Kylian Mbappé. According to several French media outlets, the Real Madrid forward is expected to retain the captain's armband under Zidane. A decision that falls in line with continuity and reflects the trust the new manager places in his attacking leader.
The two men share a long-standing relationship built on mutual respect. Zidane intends to rely on Mbappé to guide a new generation of Les Bleus, with the ambition of continuing the French national team's success on the international stage.
