Since last night, the information has been circulating in a loop. Didier Deschamps will leave the France team at the end of his contract, after the 2026 World Cup. He will have led the Blues for 14 years, a record which will be difficult to beat. The coach himself confirmed the news this morning during the launch of the Yellow Pieces operation in Bordeaux with Brigitte Macron. He also wanted to explain this choice which he considers to be logical. It’s time for him to give up the apron.
“It seems like the right time to me. Because I was asked the question too, it was not prepared calculated. It’s been very clear in my head for a long time, I just clarified it. But it’s not for tomorrow, there are still great deadlines. All good things come to an end. It’s going to be 14 years, that’s okay! I’ve done my time. No one is irreplaceable. I made sure to be the most essential also with the results that you know» he smiled to the press.
