Dugarry’s scoop on Zidane and the Blues

Since Monday evening and the revelation of Didier Deschamps’ departure from the France team in 2026, after the American World Cup, the question that obviously followed was that of his successor. Despite a few other names mentioned (Henry, Genesio, Garcia, Haise…), the big favorite is known: Zinédine Zidane.

And if there is one man who knows Zidane, it is Christophe Dugarry, his great friend for many years who explained himself on the subject at the microphone of RMC Sport. Dugarry who first of all defends the mentality of his great friend, whom he sees fully capable of taking over from Deschamps. “The problem with Zizou is that there is a surreal side to it and he makes things so easy. He won the Champions League three times in a row, no one could have imagined it! He was able to motivate a club as strong and political as Real Madrid. We think it’s easy, but what do you think? Do you think everything is easy for him? Do you think he’s afraid of not doing as well as Deschamps? But you don’t know him well! »

Dugarry confirms that Zidane dreams of Deschamps’ job

But above all, Christophe Dugarry dropped a very clear scoop. While Zinédine Zidane has not communicated anything about his intentions since the start of the week, and Noël Le Graël has even cast doubt on his future by being “not sure” that Zidane really wants the position, Dugarry brushes aside all these speculations. He assures him, Zinédine Zidane dreams more than ever of the Blues and indeed wants the position of coach. “He is not afraid of a challenge. He’s not afraid to get wet, he’s not afraid of failure. The Blues are a childhood dream for him. Does he still want to become coach of the Blues? Of course! When I read that Le Graët has doubts about his interest, I tell myself that fortunately we fired that one! », blurted Dugarry.
