Journalist
After trying different sports, Thibault turned to a career as an amateur footballer. When making a choice between becoming a professional footballer and a journalist, the qualities tipped the scales to one side. Here he is now in the editorial team of 10 Sport, after a diploma obtained at the International Institute of Communication in Paris.
In 2026, after the World Cup, Didier Deschamps will leave his position as coach of the France team. It's still a long way off, but we are now asking the question of his successor and all eyes are turning to Zinedine Zidane. But now some assure that Zizou could be scared at the idea of going after Deschamps. So should we expect a clap of thunder?
Didier Deschamps made it official himself: in 2026, after the World Cup, he will leave his role as coach of theFrench team. The end is therefore scheduled and until then, a question must be answered. Who will be next to sit on the Blues bench? Moving after DD clearly won't be easy given his record. What in particular to cool Zinedine Zidane ? While Zizou appears to be the favorite and the natural candidate to replace Deschampshe might think twice before accepting the job.
-“Zidane will not come I think after Didier Deschamps”
Zinedine Zidane could he be afraid of the challenge that awaits him to follow Didier Deschamps in French team ? This is what was explained Cyril Hanouna. Indeed, on TPMPhe confided regarding Zizou: “ A lot of people talk about Zinedine Zidane. Zinedine Zidane is an extremely intelligent person and I don't think he will come after Didier Deschamps. I'm not saying that Thierry Henry is less intelligent, he is too. But I think that Thierry Henry will be the next coach of the France team. Zidane will arrive later. Zidane will not come after Didier Deschamps, I think. I think there will be a lag time between the two. He will let Thierry Henry go there. It's complicated to go after Deschamps ».
“It’s so stupid to say that”
While others also share this opinion of Cyril Hanounathe clan Zinedine Zidane wanted to respond to this crazy thesis. So, Christophe Dugarryclose to Zizou for many years now, had said: “ It's so stupid to say that. What stupidity. Zidane, the career he had, when he agreed to be the coach of Real Madrid, did he accept because it was comfort? The problem with Zizou is that he makes things so easy and a bit unrealistic, supernatural. To imagine that this boy is capable of speaking to a locker room, of motivating a locker room, a team, a club as strong, powerful as Real Madrid and achieving it, we think it's easy. But what do you think, what did Zizou go through? You think that everything is easy for him and there we should put someone after Deschamps because he is afraid, afraid of not doing as well as Deschamps? You don't know Zizou well. Stop. I understand that he doesn't express himself much, that he doesn't give a lot of information, but he is not afraid of the challenge, of getting involved, of failure. If he doesn't succeed, he won't succeed. He does this because he wants to, it's a childhood dream ».
So, should we expect thunderclap with Zinedine Zidane and the France team?
