Zidane's Relationship with Mbappé a Key Challenge as New France Coach
The article analyzes the upcoming dynamic between new French national team head coach Zinédine Zidane and captain Kylian Mbappé. It notes that while the two have a smooth relationship, Zidane has deliberately avoided being photographed with Mbappé to avoid distracting from the World Cup. A major challenge will be building trust, similar to what Didier Deschamps achieved. Zidane's presence in Madrid may facilitate meetings. Key issues include Mbappé's motivation for the Nations League and his preferred playing position—whether as a striker or out wide—which Zidane must decide.
