Didier Deschamps is experiencing his last matches at the head of the Blues. Unless there is a huge turnaround, the national coach will leave his post at the end of his contract, after the 2026 World Cup. “I have been here since 2012, I am scheduled until 2026, the next World Cup, but it will stop there because it has to stop at some point”he confided on TF1 early January.
Obviously, the first question that arises is none other than that of his successor. Who will be the future French coach? Zinedine Zidane is considered a more than credible candidate, and he has already refused many attractive proposals, waiting to take charge of the Blues. Then, another question arises: what will Didier Deschamps do after his adventure on the bench of France?
Deschamps does not say no to the Saudis
“Contacts with a club in Saudi Arabia? I was able to have contacts. Not especially with them, I’m not going to name names, but they know my situation. Fairly regular contact? You are curious… From the moment I made a decision, and I will not go back on it, it is clear and clear, after the deadlines that are planned, I will be free and I am not forbidding myself anything”replied the coach, opening the door to the Saudi championship.
He then clearly put an end to a rumor explaining that he could ultimately remain at the head of the Blues in the event of a world title in the USA this summer, just as he insisted on denying rumors linking him to Juventus and the Brazilian selection. The future of the former OM and AS Monaco player could therefore well be written alongside Karim Benzema and Cristiano Ronaldo…
