Europe2 sources2 countries🔦 Under-reported9m ago
Kylian Mbappe stated on Monday that playing under new France coach Zinedine Zidane feels like "something from a film," 15 years after the two French football icons first met. Zidane took charge of the French national team following his appointment on Friday, replacing Didier Deschamps, whose 14-year tenure as coach ended after the 2026 World Cup.
Zidane is set to manage Les Bleus for the first time in an upcoming Nations League match. The transition marks a significant shift in the leadership of the national team, bringing the former Real Madrid manager and former France teammate into the coaching role alongside Mbappe.
