Zinédine Zidane unveils his first squad list as France coach
France's new manager will announce this Friday the players selected for the upcoming Nations League matches, with the first match against Turkey on September 25.
Zinédine Zidane will present his first squad list as France coach on Friday, September 18 at 6 p.m., according to France 24. This announcement concerns Nations League matches scheduled over the next two weeks.
The first match under the direction of the former international will take place on September 25 against Turkey. According to France 24, the Blues, who notably have Kylian Mbappé in their ranks and who reached the semi-finals of the last World Cup, are thus beginning a new cycle under the leadership of the man nicknamed "Zizou".
This first outing of Zinédine Zidane at the helm of the national team will be particularly scrutinized, the source notes. The new manager has indicated he wants to "give everything to ensure the Blues continue to win," according to statements reported by France 24.
