After having extended his reign in the France team, to the great displeasure of Zinédine Zidane, Didier Deschamps could welcome the possible appointment of Thierry Henry at the head of the France Espoirs team…
” This file is political! “, assures the well-informed Mohamed Toubache-Ter. It was the latter who announced, Thursday on Twitter, that Thierry Henry had been approached by the FFF to become the new coach of the France Espoirs team in place of Sylvain Ripoll. One year from the Paris 2024 Olympics, the 98 world champion could take the reins of Les Bleuets who will compete in the Olympic football tournament.
Henry’s appointment has obviously been demanded by the Minister of Sports, Amélie Oudéa-Castéra, from the president of the FFF Philippe Diallo, but this outcome could also make Didier Deschamps happy. The coach of the Blues sees the shadow of Zinédine Zidane disappear again, he who extended after the 2022 World Cup while “Zizou” was waiting for his turn.
This case is political!!
And if wanting to put Henry is not a way to kill Zidane… for the succession of Deschamps.
If Henry is going strong with the Espoirs, there is no chance of seeing Zidane succeed Didier Deschamps.
Everything is political!! #FranceHopes

No Zidane after Deschamps?
” And if wanting to put Henry is not a way to kill Zidane… for the succession of Deschamps. If Henry is going strong with the Espoirs, there is no chance of seeing Zidane succeed Didier Deschamps. Everything is political! “, proclaims Toubache-Ter, as if to imply that Henry, if he proved himself with the U21s, could take over from “La Dèche” after the 2026 World Cup in North America. It’s still unlikely…
Zidane, he must find a new challenge anyway before hoping to knock on the door of the France team in a few years. Triple winner of the Champions League with Real Madrid, the Ballon d’Or 98 has a limited choice, between his Casa Blanca (where he could return in the event of a crisis), PSG (if he accepts one day the bridge of gold) or Juventus (his other former major European club).
