For Daniel Riolo, the president of the FFF must take his responsibilities and fire Didier Deschamps, for the good of the French team.
Didier Deschamps offered himself a little respite. Increasingly criticized since Euro 2024, the French coach found a smile again on Sunday evening in Italy, where the Blues dominated the Nazionale (1-3). Thanks to this success,
the Tricolores finish at the top of their Nations League groupwhich will allow them to receive in the quarter-final return next March.
Despite this good match from Jules Koundé and his partners at San Siro, Daniel Riolo does not budge:
it's time to turn the page Deschamps. On the airwaves of RMC, the famous editorialist put the president of the FFF, Philippe Diallo, on trial, whom he asks to take responsibility by putting an end to the adventure of “DD” at the head of the Blues.
“He must ask himself questions and realize that change is necessary”
« We have a powerful coach who was there during the Le Graët era. Le Graët was ousted, and here is number two who was not elected and is preparing his campaign. What project is he presenting? Nothing. He is facing a declining audience, which is not insignificant”first stated Daniel Riolo.
And to continue: “ If I were president of the federation and I saw these figures, it would be unacceptable. He must ask himself questions and realize that change is necessary. Furthermore, we cannot be told about stability and the impossibility of layoffs overnight. » As a reminder, Didier Deschamps is still under contract with the FFF until June 2026. For his part, Zinedine Zidane is ready to take over.
