Withdrawn since leaving Real Madrid in May 2021, Zinedine Zidane has returned to the forefront of the media scene. The French football icon has not (yet) sat on a club or selection bench. But he was present in London on Thursday, during the presentation of the 2023 Alpine single-seater, which will be driven by two other Tricolores, Esteban Ocon and Pierre Gasly.
The Norman Formula 1 team has announced that Zizou (50) will be its new ambassador, as well as the sponsor of its programs for equal opportunities, in a discipline not really accessible to all budgets.
