Zinedine Zidane, the former French international and 1998 World Cup champion, officially began his tenure as the head coach of the French national team, known as Les Bleus, this week. On Monday, he oversaw his first training session with the squad at the team's training facility.

The session was described as a light workout, involving approximately twelve players who are currently available for the national team camp. The event drew significant media attention, with roughly 50 journalists present to observe the new coach’s first steps in his leadership role. This training marks the beginning of the team's preparations for the upcoming Nations League campaign, a tournament that serves as a key test for Zidane as he transitions from his previous roles into the head coaching position for the national side.

While the session proceeded without incident, the focus remains on how Zidane will integrate his tactical philosophy into the team ahead of competitive fixtures. The presence of a large media contingent underscores the high level of public and press interest surrounding his appointment. No further details regarding specific tactical changes or roster adjustments for the upcoming matches were disclosed during this initial session.
