Zinedine Zidane on the Blues bench, it’s not for now… Extended until 2026 after the World Cup in Qatar, Didier Deschamps seems determined to honor his contract. One thing is certain, according to Daniel Riolo: “DD” will not resign. Especially since he has no intention of giving up his place to his former teammate in the France team and at Juventus Turin.
“All his life he will carry around the fact of having been a water carrier. The idols are Platini, Zidane, let’s say the handsome football players, and even if he has the best record in French football, he is the man of results, he will always be behind them. (…) And that’s a scar », Confided the famous editorialist on the airwaves of RMC.
“Deschamps is a self-conscious person, a guy who has a scar that he will never erase”
And to add: “ Deschamps is a self-conscious person, a guy who has a scar that he will never erase. He had as coach Platini and as teammate Zidane, two legends of French football, and he is in the middle with the best track record and he is always behind. He will never accept that, his ego can’t stand that. »
Eager to take control of the French team following the departure of Didier Deschamps, Zinedine Zidane will therefore most likely have to wait until the end of the Blues’ journey at the 2026 World Cup. In the meantime, his name is circulating on the side of Real Madrid, where Carlo Ancelotti is increasingly criticized.
