Didier Deschamps' French team has been going through some complicated times in recent weeks. While Zinédine Zidane is increasingly being put forward to take over from Deschamps, the latter is doing everything not to put his former Blues teammate forward.
Didier Deschamps has been under fire for some time now. The results of the Blues are less good, his team has difficulty developing play and the controversies surrounding the management of his group, in particular Kylian Mbappé, do not help anything for him. Many would like to see Didier Deschamps hang up his contract soon or at the end of his contract, in 2026. The idea would be to see Zinédine Zidane take over. But Deschamps finds it difficult to say good things about the 98 Ballon d'Or despite their shared past in the French team and Juve. Moreover, recently asked about the best player with whom he played in his career, the former OM coach did not choose anyone, probably for fear of offending. But for Christophe Dugarry, this response was calculated…
Deschamps will not give Zidane any gifts, Dugarry confirms
On the antennaRMCthe consultant did not hold back when attacking his former teammate, recalling that he would do nothing to put Zidane forward: “Of course it’s Zidane but he will never say it, he will never highlight it. He won the World Cup. Obviously the best player he played with was Zidane. He's been here for 12 years, he'll never make an assist. He doesn't know how to do that. He will never say good things about a possible competitor. No, it’s always calculated and thought out”. It is common knowledge that Dugarry and Deschamps do not like each other but such an outing will certainly not help the image of an increasingly cornered Deschamps. His team will soon play two Nations League matches against Israel and Italy. The opportunity to move forward and silence some critics.
