Zinedine Zidane becomes Mango’s latest ambassador

Usually somewhat removed from the media stage, the French soccer star will inevitably be in the spotlight as the new ambassador for Spanish ready-to-wear brand Mango.

A recipient of the coveted Golden Ball award, Zidane will appear in the brand’s Spring-Summer 2015 menswear campaign, shot in Madrid. The first image revealed, in black and white, shows the sports legend in a shirt, tie and blazer.

This is not the first time Zidane has posed in a clothing campaign. In addition to being a spokesmodel for several sportswear brands over the years, he has represented the fashion label Y-3.

Likewise, this is not the first time Mango Man has chosen a soccer star as a spokesmodel: Spanish center-back Gerard Piqué has posed for the brand in the past. Before Zidane, model Mark Vanderloo was the most recent Mango Man ambassador.
