It is the funny idea launched by Luis Fernandez in The legends podcast. The former PSG coach, winner of the 1996 Cup Cup Cup, wishes to accompany Zinedine Zidane in the staff of the French team if “Zizou” succeeds Didier Deschamps next year, in the wake of the 2026 World Cup.
Luis Fernandez knows Zidane well and for good reason, he ended his player career at AS Cannes (1989-1993) and was a privileged witness to the start of the attacking midfielder among the pros. The native of Marseille, trained among the crocodiles, was launched by Jean Fernandez in April 1989, then played two promising seasons in Division 1, alongside Luis Fernandez (53 matches together), before joining the Girondins de Bordeaux where he was elected best hope in the championship.
“He started his career with me, I wanted to end my career with him. I admire this boy, and that's why I would like it so much that it is in the France team, that it takes the French team, that it trains him. But me, it would not be as an assistant, but as Team Manager, sports coordinator “launched Luis Fernandez in The legends podcastas reported girondins4ever.com.
Luis Fernandez applied in 2010
Emblematic defensive midfielder of the French team of Michel Platini, winner of Euro 1984 and semi-finalist of the 1982 and 1986 World Cups, Luis Fernandez officially applied for the post of Blues coach in January 2010, as Raymond Domenech's end of the course. However, he has never been one of the credible candidates with FFF leaders, who already had in mind to turn to the World Champions 98 Laurent Blanc and Didier Deschamps.
Zidane probably has no interest in leading the French team with a Luis Fernandez by his side. The 65 -year -old technician has not resulted since his passage to the national team from Guinea in 2016. The faithful beIN Sports TV consultant would make a “Zizou” advisor a little too media and does not seem very close to the current generation led by Captain Kylian MbappĂ©.
Besides, Luis Fernandez would not occupy the post of team manager. No former player is employed as such since it is a function of administrative manager. Philippe Parachieux, which has been communicated by the FFF, is the current EDF team manager. Former players are on the other hand sports coordinator like Juan in Brazilian Seleça and Diego Benaglio in Switzerland or even “chief of delegation” like Gianluigi Buffon in Italy and Didier Zokora in CĂ´te d'Ivoire.
