At the beginning of 2025, Didier Deschamps announced that he would no longer be the coach of the French team at the end of the 2026 World Cup. A departure that poses many questions, as will be his successor or where Will he continue his coach career? Regarding this last question, Pascal Dupraz already has his little idea. The ex-coach of TFC and ASSE does not imagine “DD” elsewhere than in a large European club.
“There is something that makes everyone agree about Deschamps: he's a winner, First recalled Dupraz this Saturday on RMC. IThe club won and in selection. If he wants to take a club once he has finished with the French team, I think he will have the choice among the biggest clubs, so he will continue to win. It is made for that, whether in selection or in club. (…) He led Monaco to the final of the Champions League, eliminating the Real Madrid of Zidane and the Galactics (in 2004), he raised Juve in Serie A (in 2007), he realized the double Cup of the Championship League with OM (in 2010)… ”
“He can succeed with almost any club”
“In the collective memory, Deschamps is only the coach of the Blues but he has led to many years in club and he has immense experience, he continued. It is not the same thing to coach a selection and a club, but it has this ability to manage Egos and create group cohesion. He himself played in the biggest clubs, and he has what they are all looking for: the spirit of winning. For me, he can succeed with almost any club. »»
For his part, Didier Deschamps opened the door to a return to a club, he who does not see himself coach of another nation than France. “” I stop, but I'm certainly not retired, Launched the 98 world champion in remarks relayed by RMC. You must never say never, but I don't see myself coach of another nation. Compared to what the French team represents for me, the Marseillaise … I do not close a door, I will be available. (…) I repeat, I do not close any door apart from that of another selection, unless I changed my idea. But that would surprise me a lot. »»
