France national team: Zinédine Zidane has already chosen his captain

This Tuesday, the French Football Federation will hold a press conference during which its president, Philippe Diallo, will announce the name of the new head coach.

We already know who it will be. It is, of course, Zinedine Zidane. The former Real Madrid legend has been waiting for this position for years. He will now succeed Didier Deschamps after 14 years of dedicated service.

Zinédine Zidane will take over and bring his own style and ideas to the team. He has already started, expressing a desire for a larger coaching staff, including more women. As for the players, the French tactician is expected to inject fresh blood while still relying on leaders like Kylian Mbappé.

The captain of Les Bleus, the Real Madrid forward is expected to keep the armband according to information from Le Parisien. The French outlet has confirmed that Zidane wants to make him his captain. The two men get along well and have great respect for each other. It's a logical and unsurprising decision.
