Kylian Mbappé sends message to Zinedine Zidane after France unveiling | OneFootball

Real Madrid star Kylian Mbappé has sent a welcome message to fellow countryman and new international manager Zinedine Zidane on Tuesday.

This of course comes fresh off the former midfielder being unveiled as the latest installation on Les Bleus’ bench.

It had long been common knowledge that this summer’s World Cup would mark the last major tournament overseen by Didier Deschamps as France headmaster.

Following the country’s semi-final elimination at the hands of Spain, Deschamps therefore made official the mutual decision for a change at the helm.

The aforementioned Zidane had been rumoured as the leading candidate to replace his former teammate for some time, with the 54-year-old having repeatedly resisted a return to club management to instead wait for his dream role in the French dugout.

Zidane, in turn, was unveiled by the FFF earlier today.

And as alluded to above, quick to send a message of welcome and well wishes to his new manager on the international stage was none other than Kylian Mbappé.

Taking to his official Instagram account, frontman Mbappé reposted Zidane’s France announcement, accompanied by the message:

‘Welcome home’
