Historical agent of Didier Deschamps for 15 years, Jean-Pierre Bernès spoke about the decision of the coach of the Blues not to go beyond his contract, in 2026. In an interview granted to Provencehe revealed that this decision was the result of long reflection, which had nothing to do with the popular pressure suffered by his client for several months.
“At some point, you have to realize that the journey has been made, well done. This announcement comes at a slow time. There will be no disruption. Everything is clear, there is no more debatesaid Bernès, before speaking about his future. Every time we talked about that (winning the Champions League as a coach), because there were people who might be interested, he told me that he only thought about the selection. He is the French team. Despite this announcement, he will have the same determination, the same objective, the same attention to detail to succeed until 2026. There are two deadlines: the Nations League and the World Cup. He is focused on that. His future doesn’t matter today. He doesn’t think about it at all today. He doesn’t mention it, anyway. We never talk about it. What he will do next, we have time to think about it.”
