By his own admission, Didier Deschamps arouses desire. Particularly in Saudi Arabia where Al-Ittihad would dream of enlisting him. But the Saudi giant is not the only one to have its sights set on the coach of the France team. Nothing could be more logical according to the person concerned. “They know my situation,” he recently told Téléfoot.
The situation has indeed been clear since the start of the year. Invited on the set of the 1 p.m. news on TF1 to discuss the Yellow Pieces operation of which he is one of the sponsors, the former midfielder had in fact announced his departure from the French team at the end of the 2026 World Cup. An event which surprised Marie-Sophie Lacarrau, the presenter of the news on the first channel.
“Maybe he let himself be picked on”
“This is special. Didier Deschamps is invited with Brigitte Macron, to tell us about the Yellow Pieces operation. I see them in the makeup room just before they go on air, but I don’t talk to Didier Deschamps about the French team, only about the Yellow Pieces…” she explained to Télé 7 jours.
“On set obviously, I take the opportunity to also discuss the news of one and on the other. And so I ask him my question about the 2026 Football World Cup, which I had worked on a little, all the same, and… Maybe he let himself be picked on,” she continued, adding: “Deep down, I’m like, ‘But it’s huge! Did he really tell me that, that he would leave the Blues in 2026?’ So I run it again and he explains. »
