If he is determined not to remain inactive once his adventure on the bench of the Franc team is over, Didier Deschamps is not sure of continuing his career in a technician role.

A heavy page is about to be turned at the head of the France team. After fourteen years spent as French coach, Didier Deschamps will leave the Blues bench at the end of the World Cup. And if there is little doubt about the identity of his successor, a great mystery surrounds the rest of the career of the double world champion.

The person concerned assures him: he has not yet decided anything for the future, focusing exclusively on this World Cup that the Blues will play from next June 16, hoping to be in the final, on July 19, in New Jersey. ” I don’t know. I haven’t made a decision for the future. I know it will be different and that I will miss the French team. I don’t forbid myself anything”he confided in an interview with Ouest-France in response to a question asked by Antoine Kombouaré.

While his name was mentioned for a time on the Real Madrid side, before Florentino Perez set his sights on José Mourinho, Didier Deschamps is not certain of diving back in this summer. “If it has to go through an inactive period…”he whispered, also saying he was ready to explore new functions.

“I will stay in football, in one form or another”

“I know in any case that I will stay in football, in one form or another, he clarified. There are different roles. I’m not going to invent myself as a musician, dancer or pastry chef. But I will see after the competition, so as late as possible. »

If he devotes himself entirely to the Blues for the moment, Didier Deschamps is nonetheless ready to quickly dive back in. “When you are a coach, there are periods of interruption, especially after major competitions. But as I am in great shape and recover quickly, he slipped. In any case, I am privileged because I have the chance to be able to choose.
