Zinédine Zidane had a truly special moment this Friday at the headquarters of the French Football Federation. For the announcement of his very first list as coach of the France team, the 1998 world champion received a particularly warm welcome. Highly anticipated for his first steps at the head of the Blues, the former Real Madrid coach was welcomed like a true rock star when he presented his first group.
A crowd was present to welcome the new French coach, who took the opportunity to sign a few jerseys and balls, as well as to take photos with the French public. As a reminder, five players were called up for the first time in the French team: Guillaume Restes, Jérémy Jacquet, Lucas Da Cunha, Andy Diouf and Estéban Lepaul. A particularly scrutinized first list which officially marks the start of the Zidane era at the head of the Blues.
