Zinédine Zidane picks three vice-captains behind Kylian Mbappé for France | OneFootball

Zinédine Zidane has set his leadership group for France, with Kylian Mbappé captain and Ousmane Dembélé, Adrien Rabiot and Jules Koundé appointed as vice-captains for this international camp.

According to L'Équipe, the head coach has opted for the three most-capped players in his squad to deputise.

Zidane confirmed at his press conference on Friday that Mbappé would wear the armband, continuing from the closing months of Didier Deschamps’s reign.

He also said he would operate with four captains, though he did not identify the three deputies at the time.

Dembélé has 67 caps, Rabiot 66 and Koundé 56, reflecting Zidane’s preference, seen at Real Madrid, for entrusting responsibility to his most experienced players.
