Monday evening, the president of the FFF, Philippe Diallo, spoke in the columns of The Team concerning the Mbappé case, particularly regarding the captaincy. “It’s up to Kylian to discuss this subject with Didier (Deschamps). We have a next meeting in March 2025, the quarter-final of the League of Nations (against Croatia). It is necessary that there be a new exchange between him and Didier Deschamps so that they adjust his role as captain. Being captain of the France team is an honor. This should not become a question. There must be adjustments through the dialogue between the coach and Kylian and if necessary, I will come with them to complete their discussions.
A meeting is therefore planned during the next gathering in March 2025 between DD and KM9, if the latter is able and present. The Team tells us that the French striker’s entourage is pushing for him to keep his armband. No one is encouraging him to give up the captaincy according to the sports daily. The decision will be up to him and his coach.
