The target of numerous criticisms for several months, Didier Deschamps is invited to leave his position as coach of the France team…
Didier Deschamps is undoubtedly impatient to see 2024 come to an end. The year will have been particularly complicated for the French coach. The French team certainly pushed to the semi-final at the Euro, but the vice-world champions showed their limits against Spain and the home defeats conceded against Germany and the Italy also highlighted the difficulties of the Blues.
If it finished in first place in its group in the Nations League and is still in second place in the FIFA Ranking, France has less than 50% victories in 2024 and the content of the matches has most often disappointed. Enough to earn Didier Deschamps numerous criticisms. And all the more so since the French group seemed to escape him on several occasions.
“Go home”
Antoine Griezmann also announced his international retirement at the beginning of the fall and Kylian Mbappé did not hesitate to skip the October gathering. Enough to further weaken the position of the French coach. Nothing could be more normal, according to him. “I’m realistic, it’s been twelve years… Let people get tired of seeing my face…”he confided after the last match of the Blues in 2024, adding: “I'm calm, I'm not going to jump to the ceiling, you have to appreciate it. From everything that has been done for quite a few years and being there at the top, it leads to certain expectations and a certain requirement. »
But the excuse of weariness does not work for Stéphane Moulin. “ Who cares about your face, go home now, thundered the former PSG sports advisor to Sud Radio. We want play. I would like to compare Fabien Galthié and Didier Deschamps. Disenchantment? It's all his fault. When he has technical players, he doesn't line them up. I want a Cherki in 10, that the team manages to create goals, play. »
