Didier has two years of contract and, out of respect for him, his staff and the players, the question of his succession does not arise today. The boss of the FFF nevertheless gave his opinion on ZZ. “He is one of the monuments of French football and world football. It was he who contributed to this first star on our jersey. I have a lot of respect and admiration for one of the greatest players in the history of football (…) I saw that he had very high quality results with Real Madrid. He has already won the most beautiful trophy, the Champions League, several times. So he also demonstrated the extent of his talent there.” Zizou will appreciate it.
