Presenter of the 1 p.m. television news on TF1, Marie-Sophie Lacarrau revealed behind the scenes of the announcement of Didier Deschamps, who surprised “everyone” on Wednesday by announcing his departure from the Blues at the end of the 2026 World Cup .
It was therefore clearly necessary to simply ask Didier Deschamps the question to obtain an answer. This Wednesday, on the sidelines of an interview for the 1 p.m. television news on TF1, the coach of the France team indicated his intention to leave the Blues at the end of the 2026 World Cup.
Presenter of this news and in charge of this interview as part of the launch of the Yellow Pieces operation, of which Didier Deschamps is the godfather with Brigitte Macron, Marie-Sophie Lacarrau revealed behind the scenes of this announcement. “We didn’t expect it, it wasn’t planned,” said the journalist in the Bonjour show on TF1.
“He said it surprising everyone”
“It was an interview on the Yellow Pieces but which becomes political at one point with Brigitte Macron. Speaking of the end of Emmanuel Macron's mandate, I told Didier Deschamps that we found a small parallel between the two and I asked him if he wanted to continue,” Lacarrau continued. “He starts with his response 'I'm not here to make an announcement', I ask him again and then he says it, surprising everyone, me first.”
If Didier Deschamps' sentence surprised even those around him, the person then explained his exit in his own way, which will inevitably have consequences. “Why now? He replied: 'because she asked me the question'”, confided Marie-Sophie Lacarrau.
In office since 2012, “DD” still has two deadlines between now and the end of his mandate with the Nations League in 2025 and the World Cup next year, if the Blues manage to qualify. The next meeting will take place in March, with a quarter-final to be played against Croatia in the Nations League.
