As the elections for the presidency of the FFF approach, the future of Didier Deschamps comes back on the table. Despite a long-term contract, checkered results would be unfavorable for him.
Is Didier Deschamps in danger? This is the question that many are asking after the first matches of the Euro and the mixed performances offered by the Blues, who finished the group stage in second place behind Austria. This assessment, which is a bit of a stain, could tarnish the recent assessment of the French coach, whose future is not necessarily assured, says the newspaper The team this Monday.
In 2012, Didier Deschamps began his term at the head of the French team and his contract runs until the 2026 World Cup. Despite everything, the results achieved at Euro 2024 will be essential for the French coach, whose future could be called into question. Today, his record is almost flawless with three finals out of four in major tournaments (2016, 2018, 2022) and justifies this longevity, but a hitch would be enough. A second elimination in the round of 16 of the Euro would be poorly received, especially since his future would become an electoral issue for Philippe Diallo. Candidate for his own succession as president of the FFF next December, he could be tempted by certain popular demands, which would please his voters to the detriment of Didier Deschamps. The latter, to ensure peace, must reach the semi-finals, insists the French sports daily. Thus, seeking revenge since 2018, the Belgians could have a major impact on the rest of the history of the Blues. See you at 6 p.m.!
