Journalist
Passionate about sport, cinema and television (on screen and behind) since his childhood, Bernard has been a journalist for 10 Sport since 2018. More skilled with the keyboard in hand than with the ball on his feet, he decides to mainly cover a beloved sport, criticized and hated at the same time (football) and a sport that is not one (wrestling).
With the announcement of the departure of Didier Deschamps, the succession of the coach of the France team is already sparking discussions. Zinedine Zidane, supported by a majority of French and former players, emerges as the natural favorite to take over. Philippe Diallo, president of the FFF, recognizes that he appears to be a legitimate candidate.
Under contract until 2026, Didier Deschamps will not go beyond that. The selector of the French team announced that he would leave his post after the next World Cup in North America, his fourth on the bench of the Blues if they manage to qualify for the competition. If the departure of Deschamps is not for now, the question of his succession is already being asked, with a name acting as the big favorite.
-“I can’t imagine it’s anyone else.”
Free and eager to take the reins of the Blues, Zinedine Zidane is expected by a very large majority of French people, including among former French players. “ I can’t imagine it’s anyone elseentrusts in particular Bixente Lizarazu in the columns of The Team. For me, it’s obvious. Zizou having announced that it is his absolute dream, the president of the FFF (Philippe Diallo) would not consider him as a first choice? If we have someone like Zizou and we don’t consider it fantastic, I don’t understand anything about football anymore (laughs). » In a consultation published on the sports daily website in recent hours, Zinedine Zidane collected the votes of 23,339 Internet users, or 72.35% of the votes, ahead of Bruno Génésio (9,98 %) et Thierry Henry (6,85 %).
“Zidane has enormous talent and high-level experience to claim to lead the French team”
Aware of the great wait around Zinedine Zidane, Philippe Diallo made glowing remarks about the former playmaker, well and truly in the discussion for the position. “ He has a lot of qualities, he showed them as a player and coach at Real Madrid. He is one of the figures of our football and has enormous talent and high-level experience to claim to lead the French team. », he estimates, reported by Europe 1.
