Looking back on the early life of Didier Deschamps, several club names come to mind: FC Nantes, where he was trained, Olympique de Marseille, where he won the prestigious
Champions Leagueor even Juventus, the team which instilled in him the famous culture of winning.
On the other hand, the Girondins de Bordeaux were completely eclipsed in the football career of Didier Deschamps. And for good reason, the adventure was very brief. Recruited by Olympique de Marseille after his emergence in Nantes, the ex-midfielder was sent to Gironde during the 1990-91 season by Bernard Tapie to strengthen his skills.
Didier Deschamps, coach of the France team, had a full life in football.
Deschamps then met certain players who would become his future teammates in the France team, like Christophe Dugarry. The site Girondins4ever tell. “In Bordeaux, in a club which was beginning to show signs of fragility, the young Deschamps, aged 22, was a basic player for (Raymond) Goethals then for (Gérard) Gili”
Deschamps convinced Tapie of his usefulness to OM
If Didier Deschamps' leadership qualities are obvious, one event will shorten the French international's time: the administrative relegation of the Girondins de Bordeaux. Under these conditions, the current coach of the Blues then requested his immediate departure.
A request finally accepted by Bernard Tapie, initially skeptical about Deschamps' abilities, but convinced by the man who would become the first captain in the history of French football to win the Big Ears Cup.
