The issue of the succession of Didier Deschamps at the head of the France team continues to fuel discussions, but the French Football Federation now seems to have decided on the calendar. Questioned on Saturday, Philippe Diallo, the president of the FFF, clarified his position by increasingly ruling out the hypothesis of an early announcement. Initially, two options were considered: an appointment of the future coach in the spring, or after the World Cup. A reflection that has evolved in recent weeks for the president of the 3F.

“I told you that I was considering two windows, the first in March-April or after the World Cup. Since the draw, I have continued my thinking and the trend is much more after the World Cup. I think we should rather leave the serenity of preparing for the competition to our French team and then we will have this sequence of a new coach.he said during the 2025 Winter Assembly, pushing back the deadline a little further around Zinédine Zidane, more than favorite to take over from Didier Deschamps.
