Zinedine Zidane has become a brand ambassador for Formula One team Alpine's equal opportunities programs.
The announcement was made on Thursday during the French team's 2023 car launch in London, where their new A523 car was unveiled.
Zidane, a former Juventus, Real Madrid, and France midfielder who also managed Real Madrid for two seasons, was spotted visiting the Alpine garage at last year's Monaco Grand Prix.
"I am very happy to be here today and happy to be part of the Alpine team," Zidane said. "I had the opportunity to meet Laurent [Rossi, Alpine's CEO] with the whole team for a Grand Prix.
"We had a good exchange, and they had a project to give the opportunities to young people, to have their opportunities for all the young talent. I was interested in this project."
