While many 1998 world champions met in Metz for Robert Pirès’ jubilee, David Trezeguet was far from his former teammates. Here’s where he was.

Those nostalgic for France 98 were able to have a good time Tuesday evening in Metz. For his jubilee, Robert Pirès brought together a good number of world champions for his jubilee, where we also found multiple legends from FC Metz and Arsenal.

Laurent Blanc, Marcel Desailly, Lilian Thuram, Bixente Lizarazu, Christian Karembeu, Frank Leboeuf, Youri Djorkaeff and Patrick Vieira. A good number of the heroes of the first star had responded. The two big absentees were Zinédine Zidane, very busy at the moment, and Didier Deschamps, who seems less close to the whole gang now. But David Trezeguet was also missing.

The former AS Monaco scorer was far from all that. The proof? David Trezeguet was filmed by Argentine television in the stands of the Monumental stadium, for Lionel Messi’s very last match with the Albiceleste, against Benin (3-0).

Trezeguet obviously wanted to offer this great moment in the history of Argentine football to one of his sons, whom he holds in his arms. This is probably the son he had in 2017 with one of his former partners, Belen Cosimo, an Argentine translator.

After living in Turin, David Trezeguet obviously resides in the Buenos Aires region, he who is working again with River Plate, the club where he played during the last years of his career between 2012 and 2014. According to La Nacion, the 48-year-old Franco-Argentinian serves as “an international ambassador, works on the international development of the famous club from the Argentine capital and participates in meetings relating to the 2030 World Cup.

The enthusiasm for River Plate is very strong. The biggest international brands are starting to contact us »he explained.
