The coach of the Blues has made a point on his future.

If it is acted that Didier Deschamps will leave his post as coach of the French team at the end of his contract, after the 2026 World Cup, the French technician does not intend to end his career as a coach.

Contrary to what some rumors suggested in view of his affection for the pace required at the head of a selection, Didier Deschamps says he is able to immerse himself in the daily life of a club. A small turnaround in view of the trend that was emerging.

“I am certainly not retired”

“No, no, I'm not retired !, insisted “DD” in an interview with the team.
I stop, but I'm certainly not retired. There are people who say to me, “Ah are you retiring?” “I say to them,” No, I stop, I don't take my retirement. I stop something that has been wonderful for many years, but no, I'm not going to be retired. You can go on now on: “Yes, but then, after? “(Laughs.) Well, I don't know. »»

“I have always had this tranquility,” continued Deschamps. I just tell myself that it will be different, but very well too. I will decide in relation to what I will be offered … There are lots of possibilities. »» The Basque is however difficult to order from another national team. “Honestly, I know you should never say, but I don't see myself being coach of another national team …”. It remains to be seen what is the current rating of Didier Deschamps on the coach market.
