PARIS (Reuters) – France playmaker Zinedine Zidane has decided to put an end to his international career, France coach Raymond Domenech says.
“Zidane will not play for France anymore. I’m sorry about it. I would have liked him to carry on. He thought he had to leave the place to young players,” Domenech said on Thursday as he unveiled his squad for next week’s friendly against Bosnia.

He will be missed, not just by the French team and supporters, but also by neutrals who appreciate the beautiful game. His skills were mesmerising and he was a definite genius in my opinion. And he seems like a very decent person as well.
What a shame he had to leave on a relative low in the abysmal collective performance against Greece.
All there is left to do is to enjoy his last few years of club football.

Sad for the french team as Zidane is in my opinion their best player. It may take some time before we can see such a talented player in the french national team again.
Good luck!
