Zidane sparks France revolution: Slams down five roster changes while backing captain Mbappé
Eleven players who took part in the last World Cup have been left out of the squad list
Z inedine Zidane is already acting as the new head coach of France . The French manager will make his debut next October 25 against Turkey at the Yildiz Entegre Kocaeli Stadyumu stadium in Kocaeli and has produced some surprises in his first squad announcement .
One of the big new developments has undoubtedly been the return of Eduardo Camavinga. The midfielder was left out of the squad for the last World Cup at the last minute and, although he has not enjoyed many minutes with Real Madrid at the start of the season, Zidane believes he can contribute a great deal in midfield.
There have also been absences in Zizou 's first call-up. As many as 11 compared to the World Cup squad. On the left side, for example, neither of the Hernández brothers has been called up by the French manager.
Tchouaméni , unlike Camavinga , is ultimately staying in Madrid to recover from the discomfort that has prevented him from competing at the start of the season. Kanté, Digne or Marcus Thuram are other players who have not earned Zidane's trust in his first squad list.
Among the new faces, notable inclusions are Liverpool centre-back Jeremy Jacquet, Rennes forward Esteban Lepaul and Andy Diouf, Da Cunha, midfielder for Como . For rotation in goal, Zidane has decided to call up Toulouse goalkeeper, Guillaume Restes
Zidane will make his debut as France's national team coach on September 25 against Vincenzo Montella's Turkey in the Nations League. After a second away fixture against Mark van Bommel's Belgium, on September 28, Zizou will manage his first home match in charge of Les Bleus o n October 22 against Mancini's revamped Italy.
