After the Blues, PSG? Deschamps sows doubt

While Didier Deschamps confirmed that he will end his adventure with the French team after the 2026 World Cup, the future of the current coach already feeds speculation. If he has clearly excluded the idea of ​​directing another national selection, it remains open to a club return. A perspective that intrigues, in particular because of its rich past on European benches, but above all of its particular history with Olympique de Marseille, where he wrote some of the most beautiful pages of the club. However, his recent statements suggest a scenario that could surprise more than one Marseille supporter.

Deschamps does not exclude joining PSG

Questioned by Le Parisien about the possibility of causing a club like Paris Saint-Germain, Didier Deschamps left the door open : “I don't close a door, I will be available. But I have nothing in mind right now. Depending on the proposals, I will choose. I do not forbid anything. »» A answer that is surprising, even disturbing, when you know its historical attachment to OM.

Captain of the Marseille team during the victorious epic in the Champions League in 1993, then coach of the last title of French club champion in 2010, Deschamps marked the history of Marseille. To imagine such a figure on the PSG bench, an eternal rival of OM, is almost unthinkable. However, Deschamps does not deviate from this possibility.

A statement that will not appeal to everyone

This opening to PSG could make teeth cringe, especially on the side of the Canebière, where Deschamps is still perceived as a hero. But she could also arouse questions on the side of Paris. Luis Enrique, the current PSG coach, is under contract and benefits from the support of his management. Seeing Deschamps positioning itself, even indirectly, could be perceived as an additional pressure on the Spanish.

Anyway, the future of Didier Deschamps after 2026 already intrigues. One thing is certain: he does not intend to disappear from the radars of football immediately. “I stop a long and wonderful period but I am not retired. The after will be different and very good ”he thundered.
