French team: Didier Deschamps is preparing big surprises for his list

A few hours after the Blues’ defeat against England (4-6) in Miami for third place in the 2026 World Cup, Didier Deschamps was received on Sunday evening at the Élysée by Emmanuel Macron, according to several consistent sources. Accompanied by members of his staff, the technician shared a confidential dinner with the President of the Republic for a final debriefing in a small group.

This meeting marks the end of an era, sealing the departure of DD after fourteen years spent at the head of the French team. To succeed him, the arrival of Zinédine Zidane as coach is expected and should be made official in the coming days.
