Mbappé's Donation: First Setback for Zidane, His Trusted Man Excluded from the Blues

Zinédine Zidane, the new coach of the French national team, faces the dismissal of Mohamed Sanhadji, his trusted aide, following his indictment in the case involving Kylian Mbappé's donation of 60,300 euros. Sanhadji, who had been retained in the coaching staff for the 2026 World Cup, is now prohibited from contacting players and visiting several locations associated with the team. This decision comes after several players expressed their desire for him to remain with the group ahead of the World Cup.
