Except that basically, DD had come to talk about the Yellow Pieces operation alongside Brigitte Macron and no one at TF1 expected to get such a scoop. “He didn’t come to make an announcement. But we asked him about his future and he answered it. It’s that simple”said a person present on the set at Parisian. Also questioned, the presenter of the 1 p.m. news, Marie-Sophie Lacarrau, confirmed this version.
“I knew that I was going to question him about his desire, or not, to continue with the France team, but his announcement was not prepared or anticipated. We looked for the right transition to launch it and we found it by evoking the end of the mandate of the President of the Republic and his own! I think it relaxed him. » The daily also adds that Deschamps surprised the entire TF1 management team by making his announcement. And Brigitte Macron too. “What is this scoop Didier? »the first lady asked the coach in substance once the interview was over.
