Kylian Mbappe wants a new manager! Fans given fantasy opportunity to work with Real Madrid’s World Cup-winning ‘Galactico’ after taunts from brother Ethan

The World Cup winner is now fully on board at Santiago Bernabeu, with his goal account being opened for the Blancos. Football supporters across the globe are keeping a close eye on how the French superstar fares in the Spanish capital.

His full focus has to be on maximising his talent with the Liga and Champions League title holders, which means that he needs somebody else to manage his fantasy team. That is where Sorare come in with their “unique, free-to-play challenge” that offers “exclusive rewards and the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to meet Mbappe himself”.

Mbappe, who is now also a co-owner of Ligue 2 side Caen, has opened the door for a virtual coach to step in alongside him and help wrestle fantasy bragging rights back from younger brother Ethan – who is now at Lille and will face his sibling in European action this season. Kylian has said: “I've always been a fan of football games that combine managing a club with coaching a team, which is exactly what players do on Sorare. They constantly scout players, adjust their squads, and build competitive teams for tournaments. They juggle the roles of both club owners and coaches. I’m excited to meet the winner and just talk about football, their strategy, their approach to scouting, etc. He or she needs to convince me, they’ll be representing me now…

“Ethan’s been better than me on Sorare this summer simply because he trained harder! But from now on, I’ll have an expert helping me on Sorare. Rivalry has always been a key part of my relationship with Ethan. One of my goal celebrations actually comes from one of those moments.”

Whoever proves their fantasy football knowledge the best will earn the right to coach KYLIAN MBAPPE FC. The battle is very much on to win that coveted role, with it not often that fans get the chance to work alongside superstars at the very highest level.
