Koundé named captain of France by Zidane
According to L’Équipe, Zinedine Zidane has named Jules Koundé one of the captains of the France national team.
Jules Koundé is back in the spotlight with the national team. The defender of FC Barcelona has been appointed one of France’s captains by Zinedine Zidane, as reported by L’Équipe.
Captaincy during the break
Zidane has already chosen his captains for the France squad, which started training during the international break last Monday. The four selected leaders are:
- Kylian Mbappé
- Ousmane Dembélé
- Adrien Rabiot
- Jules Koundé
Upcoming fixtures
France’s schedule for the next few days has both home and away matches. The team will travel to face Türkiye and Belgium, while hosting Italy and meeting Belgium again at home.
For Koundé, the timing is notable. At the last World Cup he was an ever-present starter, playing all eight of France’s matches. But at Barcelona, his early-season role has been different, as he has begun the campaign more often from the bench, acting as a substitute for Eric García.
With this captaincy, Zidane is signaling how important Koundé remains in his plans as he leads the national team.
