A visit against the backdrop of the departure of Didier Deschamps from the French team

A visit to Gironde which brought back some memories for Didier Deschamps, who played for the Girondins de Bordeaux between 1990 and 1991. But who was above all caught up by this announcement made by the coach of the Blues in recent hours, to leave his place to a new coach at the head of the French team after the World Cup which will take place in 2026, organized jointly by the United States, Canada and Mexico. Didier Deschamps returned to his statements to our colleagues from South-West. “It’s been twelve years, it’s going to be fourteen years (in 2026). I’ve done my time, it’s been clear in my head for a long time, it’s just clarified. No one is irreplaceable. The most important thing is what is in front”.
