Softfootball reports that Laurent Blanc turns 60 today, November 19, 2025, and honestly, it still feels a bit strange saying that out loud. For a lot of people across France, Blanc isn't just another football figure he's practically football royalty.
"Le President", as he was fondly called back in his playing days, carried himself with a kind of calm authority that almost nobody else could match. And somehow, after all these years, that aura hasn't faded much at all.
Ligue 1 led the tribute via their official x account, calling the Gaffer a legend.
