French football legend Zinedine Zidane arrived in Mumbai with his wife Véronique on Thursday as swarms of fans greeted him at the international airport while police escorted him through.

The Real Madrid coach is expected to endorse a real estate group’s upcoming project in Bandra Kurla Complex, titled Kanakia Paris.

Zidane was roped in as the brand ambassador of Kanakia Group in May. He had said, “It’s a pleasure to be associated with the Kanakia Group Pvt Ltd and thank PMG for bringing us together.”
