France national team: Zinedine Zidane's new staff unveiled (Official)

This Thursday, the FFF revealed the staff lineup for the France national team who will be supporting Zinedine Zidane in his new role as head coach.

While we await Zinedine Zidane's first squad list as the manager of Les Bleus, expected in mid-September, the French Football Federation has unveiled the coach's backroom team. As anticipated, the technical staff will be significantly bolstered, with no fewer than 23 members on board.

"The French Football Federation officially announces today the staff of the France national team, appointed by its President, Philippe Diallo, on the recommendation of the new head coach, Zinedine Zidane. The full staff will be finalized and presented at the beginning of September, as announced during Zidane's appointment press conference on July 28.
