Zinédine Zidane has been unveiled as an ambassador for German luxury accessories brand Montblanc, fronting its Mark Maker campaign, also starring in the brand’s campaign for its Legend fragrance line later this year.

The French football legend commented ‘Montblanc is a Maison of culture and quality that believes in the importance of transmitting ideas and thoughts to others through writing. A belief that I share as someone who has benefitted from the values and culture my father and family passed on to me, and that I am trying to transmit as well’.
