The French team has been coached by Didier Deschamps for twelve years now. The 98 world champion as a player and 2018 as a coach, however, is running out of steam from the point of view of Christophe Dugarry both in terms of results and management. Especially since Zinedine Zidane is knocking on the door…
Zinedine Zidane is still without a club. A situation that has lasted since May 2021 and his second departure from Real Madrid as a coach. In June 2022, as part of an interview given to The Team for his fiftieth birthday, Zidane shared his blue dream, namely taking the reins of thethe French team.
“Zidane? I want to see that, to rediscover emotions”
However, Didier Deschamps blocked his path after the World 2022 by signing a contract extension which binds him to the French Football Federation until the end of the Coupe of monde 2026. For several months, the coach of Blues receives more and more criticism about his game and his management of players. Christophe Dugarry took advantage of his presence on the airwaves of RMC for the show Rothen ignites this Monday evening in order to claim the arrival of Zinedine Zidane.
“After twelve years, I’m tired of seeing the same way of playing, the same speeches at press conferences. I have a form of weariness. I want to see something new. When I know that in addition, he is one of the most successful coaches (editor’s note Zidane), apart from the fact that he is my friend that is not the subject, I obviously have a particular affect, but I I want to see that, to rediscover emotions.”
“I am not anti-Deschamps, I am anti-game which bores me”
Christophe Dugarry makes a direct link to the beginnings of French disenchantment withFrench team and the turn taken by the Blues under the management of Didier Deschamps over the last few months. “I have the impression that it is Deschamps, Le Graët in the past and now Diallo, that they have monopolized the French team. And the others, if you’re not happy, change the channel. I’m not anti-Deschamps, I’m anti-game which bores me. I think that this voice, no one wanted to hear or listen, it materializes more and more through TV audiences.”
