Zinédine Zidane, coach of the France national team, is set to make his highly anticipated debut in front of the French public at Stade de France. This marks an emotional return for the former number 10, who famously scored twice in the 1998 World Cup final against Brazil at the same venue. Zidane's coaching tenure has begun flawlessly, securing victories against Turkey (1-0) and Belgium (1-0) in the Nations League. Despite the absence of captain Kylian Mbappé due to a left knee injury, the team's performance has remained strong. France will now face Italy, a team struggling under Roberto Mancini, at Stade de France. Zidane has a significant history with Italy, including his final match as a player in the 2006 World Cup final. Key players like Ousmane Dembélé and Michael Olise are expected to feature, with Dembélé potentially wearing the captain's armband.
