Despite the criticism against him and the change of coach demanded by some, Didier Deschamps is still at the head of the France team. And this until 2026. To succeed him, the name of Zinedine Zidane has often come back on the table. If many want to see “Zizou” take over from Deschamps, this is not the case for Souleymane Diawara. The former Olympique de Marseille defender – who won Ligue 1 (2010) with “DD” as coach – prefers that the former Real Madrid coach waits again.
“ As long as there are results, I am for stability. Because whoever is going to replace (Didier) Deschamps, I wish him good luck. We must not forget everything he did. That’s why I, who really like Zizou, don’t want him to join the French team right away. If he does worse than Deschamps, everyone will fall on him. You know journalists in France well, you know what they are like. At some point, you know football. You can be up there and the next day you can be down. So, for now, Zizou no. You have to take someone else “, he said in a Twitch live.
