Despite the victory won in Italy to end the year, with first place in the group in the Nations League and second place in the world in the FIFA rankings at stake, Didier Deschamps is still caught in a (great) wave of mistrust. Consequence, according to him, of the weariness which is expressed after twelve years at the head of the Blues.
“I’m realistic, it’s been twelve years… Let people get tired of seeing my face…”he said after the success against the Nazionale. This longevity is indeed getting worse and worse. “If we could move on. 12 years is a long time, it’s longer than General de Gaulle was in power,” To this end, Daniel Riolo confided, ensuring that this weariness also affected certain players of the France team: “On the field, many want to say thank you and goodbye. »
Didier Deschamps fulfilled his objectives
At the head of the French Football Federation, Philippe Diallo does not seem to be overcome by this weariness. Invited on the After Foot set, on RMC, the president of 3F reiterated his attachment to Didier Deschamps. “We all want to dream and have emotions while watching the matches. Remember the incredible final of 2022. Didier Deschamps was the coach,” he recalled, ensuring that many nations envy us: “When I talk with my fellow presidents of European and world federations, many dream of being in my place. Our national team goes to the World Cup final, makes the Euro semi-finals and wins titles. It is envied all over the world. »
There is therefore no doubt that Didier Deschamps will end his contract in 2026. “I arrived in January 2023 with Didier Deschamps who had just renewed his contract for four years. I respect this contract. He fulfilled the objectives designated by the FFF,” he insisted, brushing aside the financial aspect: “Would it cost a lot to break your contract? This is obviously one aspect. But the first aspect is that I asked Didier Deschamps to go to the semi-final of the Euro. He did it. »
