Didier Deschamps had announced that he would remain the coach of the Blues at least until the 2026 World Cup. This Wednesday, January 8, he indicated that he would not go any further and would leave his post immediately after. But who will take over?
At the beginning of 2023, Didier Deschampsafter a good performance during the Football World Cup in Qatar, announced to renew his contract coach of the French team with the FFF until 2026i.e. the year of the next World Cup. At the head of the Blues since 2012, the coach finally decided to hang up after the competition in the United States, and give way to his successor, still unknown.
This Wednesday, January 8, 2025, on the 1 p.m. news on TF1, Didier Deschamps made his departure officialindicating that he “it has to stop at some point“. After 14 years of service and great achievements, notably the second star for the Blues, he admitted that he would have liked it to never stop but that he “You also have to know how to say stop, there is life after.“For him, the priority,”it’s that the French team remains at the top“, but it remains to be seen who will take over.
Another former international footballer has obviously been anticipated for years, Zinedine Zidane. The latter has no longer been in office at Real Madrid since 2021, and is widely unanimous among the French to become the next coach of the Blues. In the meantime, who knows, Didier Deschamps could still bring back a third star on the jersey!
