While some imagine that the result of the election for the presidency of the FFF could weigh on the future of Didier Deschamps, also contested after a complicated year 2024, the debate is already closed.
The year will have been complicated for Didier Deschamps. Consequence of the results of the French team. For the first time since his arrival at the head of the Blues in the summer of 2012, the Blues did not even win half of their matches, losing to the big names Germany, Spain and Italy . And if his troops pushed to the semi-final at the Euro, their journey was dull in Germany.
Because if the results have deteriorated, the game proposed has not improved, quite the contrary. The situation is such that several voices have been heard to demand his departure before the 2026 World Cup and the end of his contract. To this end, some consider that the election, in ten days, of a new president at the head of the French Football Federation could change the situation. They will have to make up their minds…
The results speak for Didier Deschamps…
Opponent of Philippe Diallo in the race for the presidency, Pierre Samsonoff has indeed reinforced the French coach.
“The results speak for Didier Deschamps, he is under contract and the campaign does not lend itself to deciding the fate of a coach”he confided in the columns of L’Equipe, adding just:
“On the other hand, it is true that the way in which the Federation behaves towards its selections raises questions. We have coaches who have not completed their contract, why? There are selections with very different results and yet, it is continuity that is chosen in management, why? Obviously, we need to rethink the athlete management system at the FFF. »
Unsurprisingly, Philippe Diallo for his part praised the merits of Didier Deschamps. “We qualified in first place in the Nations League group of death against two Top 10 teams. We are second in the FIFA rankings, he whispered. I hope that Kylian Mbappé returns in March in his best form. But when he is not there, those who are present have the capacity to achieve great results. »
