The French team ship is looking for a new captain. With the absence of Kylian Mbappé due to injury, and the international retirement of Antoine Griezmann, the Blues have respectively lost their captain and their vice-captain. Enough to cause a new headache for Didier Deschamps, who had been able to count on one and the same captain for more than 10 years until now, Hugo Lloris (37 years old, 145 caps), who also said stop to the Blues. According to The Parisianthree names stand out in DD’s mind to put on the legendary armband against Israel, then Belgium.

Who should be the captain of France without Mbappé?

Mike Maignan, Aurélien Tchouaméni and Jules Koundé. We know, Didier Deschamps has no problem giving the captaincy to a goalkeeper (LLoris in Blue, Mandanda in Marseille), Mike Maignan (27 years old) therefore seems the preferred option. A true leader in the locker room, from the top of his 24 selections, “Magic Mike” is the favorite. Jules Koundé (25 years old, 36 caps) and Aurélien Tchouameni (24 years old, 36 caps) are two other credible options. Often efficient, with their heads on their shoulders and at ease in front of the media, the two friends trained together at the Girondins de Bordeaux could enter into the discussion.
