Zinedine Zidane has officially started as coach of the French national team. The legendary former midfielder, known for his successes at Real Madrid and as a player for Les Bleus, gave his first training with the national team at the Clairefontaine training complex on Monday. This marks the beginning of a new chapter for France as they prepare for the upcoming Nations League matches.
With the appointment of Zidane, he succeeds Didier Deschamps, who has been at the helm for a long time. The expectations surrounding Zidane's arrival are enormous. From the moment the French internationals reported to Clairefontaine, it was clear that a new wind was blowing through the training camp. For example, Zidane immediately limited the well-known 'fashion parade' in which players often present themselves in striking clothing upon arrival. The French Football Federation FFF shared images of the first arrival of the selection led by Zidane, officially heralding the new era.
The first session was attended by twelve players - including those who played few minutes last weekend. The complete core of 23 internationals is expected in the coming days. Remarkably, the first, much-discussed meeting between Zidane and captain Kylian Mbappé took a while, because Mbappé joined later. The increased interest was also evident from the more than a hundred journalists who closely followed the spectacle on the Michel Platini field.
Zidane has brought along his confidantes from his successful period at Real Madrid, including assistant David Bettoni. He also added former top goalkeeper Fabien Barthez to his staff, bringing extra experience and national pride.
In addition to France, this edition of the Nations League is full of coaching news: Jürgen Klopp has taken over in Germany, Xavi Hernández makes his debut as national coach of the Netherlands, Mark van Bommel does so with Belgium and Roberto Mancini returns to Italy. The big question for France is whether Zidane, with his impressive player base,and coaching career, can bring new successes with this talented generation.
The focus is now on the upcoming matches in the Nations League, with matches against Turkey, Belgium (twice) and Italy. The French public, media and football world are closely following every step of this transition. Whether Zidane can quickly convey his vision and inspire the selection will become clear in the first serious showdowns in the coming weeks.
What's happening now
France is preparing for a series of important matches in the Nations League, including confrontations with countries such as Turkey and Belgium. The full squad of 23 internationals is expected in Clairefontaine in the coming days, offering Zidane the opportunity to further implement his strategies. The first meeting between Zidane and captain Kylian Mbappé will also attract a lot of attention, given the high expectations for their collaboration.
