French football is experiencing a historic moment this Friday evening. In Izmit, Zinédine Zidane is making his debut on the France bench. The president of the French Football Federation sent him a message ahead of the match against Turkey.

An absolute legend in the history of Les Bleus, Zinédine Zidane is determined to make a perfect start to his new adventure against Turkey tonight. After Didier Deschamps’ 14-year tenure, Philippe Diallo, the head of the FFF, wanted to send Zizou a message of support at the beginning of a new era:

“A new chapter opens tonight for the France team. A new head coach, a new staff, new faces among the selected players, but the same ambition: to win. On the pitch in Izmit, Les Bleus begin their Nations League campaign against Turkey, with Zinédine Zidane on the bench for the first time. A new team is being built, with the same high standards: proudly carrying France’s colors to the highest level. Come on, Les Bleus!” he declared.
