Zinédine Zidane returns to Stade de France as Blues coach

The former number 10 of the Blues, who wrote part of his legend in the French team on the pitch of Saint-Denis, will set foot in his garden again but this time in the technician's costume. In an expected sold-out venue, the reception should live up to the myth, whose debut at the head of the Tricolores is for the moment idyllic.

As he takes his first steps in front of the French public since his appointment on July 28, memories inevitably come to the surface for the double scorer in the 98 World Cup final against Brazil (3-0), who experienced everything at the SDF, from his victorious shot against Spain during the inaugural match (1-0), on January 28, 1998, to his last appearance against Mexico (1-0), on May 27. 2006, just before the end of his playing career at the World Cup in Germany.
