After Zinedine Zidane officially became the head coach of the France national team, Kylian Mbappe sent a warm welcome to his new manager on his personal page.
On his personal Instagram page, the “Les Bleus” captain shared an image from the French Football Federation accompanied by a brief yet impactful caption: “Welcome home”. This move demonstrates the absolute support of the star born in 1998 for the change on the managerial bench.
The decision to appoint Zidane was officially announced on July 28, bringing an end to months of waiting and speculation regarding Didier Deschamps’ successor. His takeover of the “Gallic Roosters” comes 5 years after the 54-year-old manager left Real Madrid.
The arrival of the strategist born in 1972 is expected to bring a breath of fresh air to the national team after a long era tied to Deschamps. Mbappe’s message is not merely a polite greeting but also indicates an excited atmosphere within the French squad.
As captain, the number 10 star’s public welcome to Zidane, who has long been his idol, is seen as a positive signal for the start of a new era.
Currently, pundits and fans are turning their full attention to Zidane’s initial plans in preparation for upcoming major tournaments. With consensus and a spirit of unity among key figures like Mbappe, the France national team is entering a promising new chapter.
