While Zinedine Zidane would like to take over from Didier Deschamps at the head of Les Bleus, the latter does not seem to have decided to let go after the Euro.
If the French team has validated its ticket for the eighth final of Euro 2024, it did not really excite the French supporters.

Football gave me the freedom to choose what I want to do”said Deschamps, and assured that he will never coach Bayer Munich: “I will never be Bayern coach because I don’t understand German. »

Fully focused on the Euro, Deschamps displayed his ambitions. “Passion and determination: if you win titles, you will want to win more,
he confided. We want to become European champions, which unfortunately we did not manage to do in my time. Winning the title is not my motivation. I have the ambition to maintain the French team at the level where it is today: at the top. »
