After another disappointment this Friday night against Italy, the coach of the French team is increasingly being singled out by football observers. The latest is Daniel Riolo. The leading columnist for RMC has turned on the coach of Les Bleus in After Footdecrying “a disastrous performance” men of “DD”.
“Today, Deschamps’ speech is worn out and no one is buying into it anymore. (…) His old-fashioned methods and his old, outdated training will no longer work with the new ones. We knew that this was the end of the story and that change was needed, but he didn’t want to change. We’re going to have him at the head of Les Bleus again when Zidane was ready. Too bad, we’ll see this story through to the end, it’s sad.”lamented the 54-year-old journalist. The former coach of OM and AS Monaco will have the opportunity to show that he is still in the game this Monday against Belgium.
